NORWALK — In what Jamie Dance, Voice of the Faithful chairwoman, called a “historic occasion,” Bishop Frank Caggiano met with the organization for what he said was the beginning of a conversation.

Several people noted the group was started to seek reform within the Catholic Church and to support those sexually assaulted by priests, but Caggiano was not asked to formally address the topic nor did he volunteer an opinion during the nearly two-hour meeting.

The question-and-answer session, punctuated by many moments of humor provided by the Brooklyn, N.Y., transplant, was held Thursday night on Pope Francis’ first anniversary as leader of the church.

And like the pope, Caggiano has already proven to be very different from his predecessor.
