The Most Rev. Kenneth Angell, a retired Roman Catholic bishop who lost his television-producer brother in the 9/11 attacks, has died. He was 86.
Angell suffered a stroke and died Tuesday at a nursing home in Winooski, the Diocese of Burlington said.
Angell’s brother, David, was the Emmy Award-winning producer of the sitcom “Frasier” and “Wings,” and was aboard the first plane that struck the World Trade Center. At a Mass, the bishop prayed for the victims and the perpetrators, saying, “I am a Christian. I have to forgive, so I do.” …
Angell expressed dismay at revelations of clergy sexual abuse.
“I was so moved by the testimony of those abused. My heart went out to the victims – each of these people whose lives have been so deeply affected by offending clergy,” he said.
