BRIDGEPORT — In 2001, the Rev. Robert Morrissey, then-pastor of St. Mary’s Church in Ridgefield,
angrily denounced from the pulpit the growing sexual abuse scandal,
calling it a witch hunt and saying he knew of no priests who had
abused children.
One year later, he was forced to resign after being confronted with
allegations he had molested a 15-year-old boy in the late 1970s. A lawsuit pending in state Superior Court in Bridgeport charges he molested a boy at St. Mary’s School in Greenwich.
