El Salvador archbishop apologizes over priest sex abuse caseEl Salvador’s top Roman Catholic cleric apologized Sunday for the alleged sexual abuse by a priest of an unidentified minor 25 years ago. “We have apologized to the victim and now I am repeating it publicly, and we also ask for forgiveness from the community for the scandal that this has caused,” San Salvador Archbishop José Luis Escobar Alas said in a news conference after celebrating Mass. In 2016, the church defrocked three Salvadoran priests after they were found guilty of sexually abusing children.
