ST. PAUL -- The Archdiocese of St. Paul and
Minneapolis publicly confessed wrongdoing for the way it handled the
sexual-abuse allegations of three boys.
“Today,
I, as the leader of this archdiocese, stand before you to say we failed
— in what we have done and what we have failed to do,” Archbishop
Bernard Hebda said after a court hearing Wednesday, mirroring a prayer
traditionally said in each Mass.
