AP)BERLIN — A German bishop is offering his resignation after a flap over allegations of physical abuse and financial misconduct, his hometown newspaper reported Wednesday.
Augsburg Bishop Walter Mixa wrote a letter to Pope Benedict XVI Wednesday evening offering to resign as bishop and as Germany's Roman Catholic military chaplain, the daily Augsburger Allgemeine reported, without citing sources.
He wrote that the "continuing public discussion" about him had "seriously burdened priests and the faithful," according to the report. Diocese officials could not immediately be reached for comment late Wednesday night.
