CWN Editor's Note: Archbishop Wacław Depo of Częstochowa has apologized for abuses in a charismatic community, expressing his sympathy for “all those who have been hurt.”
The archbishop reported that an investigation had found “significant irregularities” in the community “Mamre,” which has about 2,000 members. He added that the problems did “not concern issues of a sexual nature, but the way the association is managed and operated.”
The organization was founded in 2000 by Father Wlodzimierz Cyran, a priest with a widespread reputation as an exorcist. He has resigned as leader of Mamre.
