CLEVELAND — A spokesperson for the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland tells Fox 8 News that Bishop Richard Lennon will today address “the actions he will take with regard to recent decrees from the Congregation for the Clergy in Rome.”
Robert Tayek, the diocese’s director of media and public relations, says that a 10 a.m. news conference has been scheduled. It will take place at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist located at 1007 Superior Avenue in Cleveland.
Last month, the Vatican issued a decree concerning 13 Catholic churches in northeast Ohio that had been closed by Lennon. The decree said that the churches should not have been shut down, and should be restored.
Despite appeals to the bishop and the diocese to comply with the Vatican’s ruling, no action has yet been taken.
