BUFFALO, NY — Two On Your Side had a chance to sit down with the leader of Buffalo’s Catholic flock to talk about some big issues the church is dealing with at the local and national level. Bishop Edward Kmiec gave us his thoughts on why the church is balking at a mandate forcing the church to offer birth control, as well as his comments on sex abuse allegations against a Buffalo priest.
As devout clergy, leaders and volunteers, gathered for a workshop for Catholic Charities Appeal 2012, Bishop Kmiec sat down with 2 On Your Side’s Melissa Holmes to discuss a couple of the issues on the minds of area Catholics. First, Father Secondo Casarotto.
Reporter: We haven’t heard from you yet so is there anything you would like to say to parishioners on this matter?
Bishop Kmiec: To all the people? Certainly we would ask prayers for Father Secondo. Certainly we want to very much apologize to any victim because apparently now there are two. We want to apologize to the victims for what has happened there.
