The priest, Fr. Richard Sparks, apologized to the Vatican, as stated in the Lay Catholic Mission article of 2006
losangelesmission.com/ed/articles/2006/0606as.htm
**Step Into It **
**The 2006 L.A. Archdiocesan Religious Education Congress **
"Sparks admitted that at the 2001 Congress he was ‘flippant in my use of humor, and imprudent…Then, I consistently argued that I uttered no heresy or dissent from Church teaching, but I was impolitic, and for that, in context, I wrote a formal letter of humble apology.’ "
But he offended thousands of teens and teachers -
What about an apology to them?
When you sin publicly and it directly affects thousands - what do you do to make amends - to apologize?
I think a public apology is necessary - and the most humbling thing a person can do - it may be the one thing that prevents sinning in the same way again.
