He asked for forgiveness since he spoke words he was not supposed to. Sorry if that’s worded weird.

Father Peter Gilligan, asks God to forgive him because he has spoken words that are unworthy of a priest. ... This is unworthy of a priest because priests are supposed to be called by God to take care of people who need spiritual help, especially as they are dying.
