Diocese of Reno response to Fr. Bill Aitcheson editorial
“We have received several inquiries about Fr. William Aitcheson, who recently authored an article in the Arlington Catholic Herald entitled “Moving from hate to love with God’s grace
At the time the then Mr. Aitcheson was applying to the Diocese of Reno-Las Vegas, he admitted his past involvement with the KKK and talked about his conversion experience. Those persons in charge at the time, acknowledging that conversion, accepted him into the seminary. However, the Diocese of Reno-Las Vegas at that time had no knowledge of any civil judgments imposed upon Fr. Aitcheson from his days prior to joining the diocese. During his time serving in the Diocese of Reno-Las Vegas as a priest no accusations of racism or bigotry were made.”
