CWN Editor's Note: In May, Father Nicolas Betticher, a former diocesan vicar general, wrote a letter to the apostolic nuncio accusing six current and retired bishops, as well as high-ranking priests, of covering up abuse, according to the report. “There are accusations against some of them of having committed sexual assaults themselves in the past,” he wrote.
