Father Robert Zilliox is clarifying the the comments he made on 60 Minutes about "eight or nine" Buffalo Diocese priests who should have been removed from the priesthood. He believes Bishop Richard Malone misrepresented his words in a statement that followed his interview on the show.
Zilliox says what he said to @60Minutes remains true. But he says others (ie. the bishop and his advisers) “mis-characterized or falsely contradicted” his statements. https://t.co/4ZmrM4CSWg
