The bishop of the Diocese of Fargo just seems incapable of giving a straight answer to simple questions about clergy sex crimes and cover-ups (“Diocese seeks the truth,” Dec. 22).

Our group asked him to reach out to others who may have been hurt by Father Gregory Patejko. We’ve asked him to explain why he kept quiet about Patejko’s alleged crimes, even after paying off one of his victims.

We’ve asked Bishop Samuel Aquila to investigate reports that three current church staffers stayed silent about credible abuse accusations against Patejko. We’ve also asked the bishop to alert parishioners in two other states where Patejko worked about the allegations against him.
