The head of the Cleveland Catholic Diocese, Bishop Richard Lennon, announced on Tuesday that he is not appealing a decree issued by the Vatican that reopened 12 area parishes closed in 2009 and 2010 as part of a consolidation plan.
Lennon had the chance to appeal to the Catholic Apostolic Signatura, but ultimately chose not to.
At a press conference Lennon declared that, “It’s time for peace and unity in the Diocese of Cleveland.”
Lennon stated that the appeal process would have been painstaking.
