A few of the priests in the Diocese of Pittsburgh being named in a soon-to-be-released grand jury report are still in ministry, Pittsburgh Bishop David Zubik said Friday, because the diocese determined allegations against them were unsubstantiated.

Bishop Zubik reiterated that “there is no priest or deacon in an assignment today against whom there was a substantiated allegation of child sexual abuse.”

But he said he would be busy in the days after the release of the grand jury report, meeting with parishioners whose priest may have been named in it, to explain why the diocese’s own review did not substantiate the allegation.

“We’re ready for that,” Bishop Zubik said. “It’s imperative to be responsible.”
