Bishop Braxton Issues Apology on Spending

From the Post Dispatch:
Belleville Bishop Edward Braxton released a statement this morning apologizing for spending money from restricted diocesan and Vatican funds. He said he’d found a donor who would contribute enough money to pay back both funds.
[...]
While the anonymous donation will replenish both funds completely, Braxton said in his statement, "it does not resolve the larger question of the confusion, mistrust, misunderstanding, loss of confidence, and even anger caused by these developments. I regret this very much, and I apologize for anything I may have done, even unwittingly, to contribute to this situation."
