Bridgeport diocese issues report on the adventures of Fr. Fay. Big numbers:

Lori has faced criticism for his handling of the scandal, especially when it emerged that another priest and the church bookkeeper hired a private investigator to look into Fay. The pair said they hired the investigator in May after they met with Lori and Fay was not removed, according to the report.

Lori said after he was made aware of potential financial misconduct in late April he took swift action to stop Fay from using church credit cards and then to force his resignation.

"As your bishop, I accept responsibility in this matter and pledge to do everything possible to restore your confidence and trust," Lori wrote in a letter to parishioners.
