Statement by Twin Cities VOTF regarding the conviction of Fr Christopher Wenthe
Once again a member of the Catholic clergy has been found guilty of a sex crime against a parishioner. Wednesday's conviction of local Catholic priest Christopher Wenthe of third-degree criminal sexual conduct for having sexual contact with a woman from his St. Paul parish who sought counseling from him comes after the church hierarchy has assured us many times that "this problem is well behind us." When will the bishops begin to actually protect their flock rather than spending their energy trying to save face for the church? Our hearts go out to Christopher Wenthe's victim, her family, and any others whom he may have hurt.
