CWN Editor's Note: The Diocese of Münster has declined to allow a visit by Bishop Karnam Dhaman Kumar of Nalgonda, India, because of a sex-abuse complant.
Bishop Kumar, who was appointed to his current post by Pope Francis last year, had previously served in the Münster diocese. He was scheduled to visit the parish to which he had been assigned, but an abuse complaint, filed in March of this year, prompted the diocese to refuse permission.
The diocese has referred the complaint to both civil and ecclesiastical authorities for investigation.
