After news broke that the former president of Human Life International, Fr. Thomas Euteneuer, stepped down abruptly from his position last year because of “inappropriate conduct,” the pro-life organization released a statement on Feb. 2 in response to the situation.
Fr. Euteneuer admitted on Jan. 31 that he left HLI in August 2010 after “violating the boundaries of chastity with an adult female who was under my spiritual care.”
“I state without reserve that I am deeply sorry for my actions. I have personally apologized, where possible, to anyone I have harmed,” he added.
In their Feb. 2 statement, HLI explained that last August they received allegations “of inappropriate conduct by Rev. Euteneuer involving a young adult woman, which occurred within the context of his exorcism ministry.”
