It’s a hard decision, it comes to confirm the veracity of the complaint which they formulated with courage and with much courage several years ago. It is a motive for peace of mind and to begin a painful cycle”, it said. With respect to the Congregation, he accused that “the truth is that his behavior seems dismal and today release and how to make it known to confirm that they are not understanding or not really sincere nor genuine his repentance with regard to this fact, which is serious”.
