The Vatican has overturned the closings of 13 Cleveland area parishes, according to the attorney who led a legal fight against their doors being shut for good.
According to attorney Peter Borre, the ruling was handed down by the Congregation of the Clergy last week.
Borre tells Fox 8 News’ Kevin Freeman, the clergy showed that Bishop Richard Lennon did not follow proper procedure in closing the parishes in 2009.
“Bishop Lennon would be well advised to hurry up on down and open these churches immediately,” said Borre.
