A former New York Cardinal has come under fire after admitting he regrets apologizing over the sex abuse scandal in his diocese.
Former Cardinal Edward Egan, who was at the center of the priest abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport, told Connecticut Magazine that he believes there is no legal requirement for reporting abuse cases in Connecticut.
Referring to his original apology, the former bishop of Bridgepoint said, “first of all, I should have never said that”.
“I did say if we did anything wrong, I’m sorry, but I don’t think we did anything wrong.”
