A delegation from the faithful of the Mysuru diocese met with the Apostolic Administrator, Rev. Fr. Bernard Moras, at the Bishop's House on Monday to demand that the authorities immediately reinstate Bishop William accusing a section of priests of making baseless charges against him. The delegation was led by Suresh Matthew, community leader and an ex-serviceman. They demanded disciplinary action be taken against the priests who made the charges against Bishop William, stating that they want him back and action taken against the rumormongers. Hema leader of the Catholic Association of Mysuru who was also part of the delegation said after taking over the charge in 2017, Bishop William had streamlined the administration and the accounting system. She alleged that this is the reason for the disgruntled priests to make false allegations against him.
