Advocates against priest sex abuse are calling on Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch to apologize for comments he recently made on a radio talk show that seemed to minimize the scope and severity of the Catholic Church scandal.
Koch sent GBH News a statement after this article’s publication Thursday, saying that he had apologized directly to the local schools and LGBTQ+ community at a schools committee meeting Wednesday night. He said his comments were “ill-thought remarks” and he was caught off guard by the issue.
