GREEN BAY (WLUK) — Prayer and penance, that’s the life a former priest, found guilty of assaulting children, has been ordered to live.
The order came from the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith (CDF) at the Vatican.
Allegations against 72-year-old [MIchael] Carroll came in 2002, according to the Diocese of Green Bay. The four allegations date back to the late ’70’s and early ’80’s, according to the diocese.
Since then, the diocese says Carroll was temporarily restricted from the exercise of public priestly ministry.
The former priest presided over three parishes, St. Mary in Marion for eight years, St. Anthony, in Tigerton and Holy Family-St. William in Wittenberg.
