(KTVI)– St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson is speaking out after criticism erupted over comments he made during a priest sex abuse case.
In a three minute statement and a letter to parishioners in the archdiocese, Archbishop Carlson apologized for the concern and frustration the deposition caused.
The diocese and Carlson’s attorney have said that his testimony for a sex abuse case while he was a church leader in Minnesota, were taken out of context.
Now, he said he misunderstood a series of questions presented to him.
Archbishop Carlson said his tenure has promoted and put in place conduct codes, safe environment programs and clergy training.
