BEND, Ore. (AP) - A priest who was removed as pastor of a Bend church is resigning from the Roman Catholic Church to start a new parish affiliated with the Evangelical Catholic Diocese of the Northwest.
James Radloff said Tuesday he is excited to start a new chapter in his career and rid himself of what he calls “an abusive relationship” with the Roman Catholic Church.
