The Roman Catholic Bishop of Syracuse spent part of the weekend
apologizing for comments he made in 2011 about clergy abuse victims. In
a sworn deposition, Bishop Robert Cunningham suggested molestation
victims who were abused by priests are partly to blame for what happened
to them.
The Syracuse Diocese then issued a statement from the bishop saying his words gave the wrong impression and now some survivors of abuse are calling for Cunningham to step down from his post as leader of central New York's Catholics.
