Manathavady diocese bishop apologises to girl, family
Kaumudi
MANATHAVADY: In the Kottiyoor case related to the sexual abuse of a minor girl by former Vicar Father Robin Wadakkanchery, Manathavady diocese head Bishop Jose Porunnedam has apologised to the victim and her family.
He says it is impossible to digest the he fact that that the sentinel of believers himself has committed the atrocity. He has made this point clear in the letter sent by the bishop to the parish, directing the church to remove the Vicar from his post.
“I don’t know how to console the victim - our dear daughter, her good, innocent parents, siblings and relatives. I’m offering you people before the Lord and praying. God is seeing your tears. I am adding my tears also to yours’. I can only say sorry to you. I appreciate you for remaining to be believers despite the irreparable loss you have had. God will bless you prosperously. May you get that strength to survive the present plight…” he writes.
