The Buffalo diocese has responded to claims that it misrepresented the financial state of its seminary before closing it last year.

“The seminary has had sustainability issues for a long time, and for at least over the past 15 years. The financial information was readily available to all interested parties,” a spokesman for the diocese told CNA on Friday.

“In short, the seminary was running out of students, time and money,” spokesman Greg Tucker told CNA Jan. 15.
