PHILADELPHIA — The Roman Catholic church in Philadelphia is preparing to release updates on the fate of about two dozen suspended priests accused of sexual abuse.
The investigations began one year ago after a blistering grand jury report.
In a news column Thursday, Archbishop Charles Chaput (SHAP’-yoo) says “justice requires a resolution of these men’s circumstances.”
Chaput says he hopes to release the findings on most of the suspended priests within eight weeks. But a gag order in a related criminal case could limit what he can say.
