PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Archdiocese of Philadelphia says two priests have been found unsuitable for ministry following allegations of sexual abuse of minors.
A statement from the archdiocese Sunday says the priests, who are both in their 70s, “have agreed to accept a supervised life of prayer and penance.”
Officials say a May 2010 abuse allegation against one priest had been substantiated, while in December a retired priest had self-reported such conduct.
The statement said announcements regarding the archdiocese’s actions were made Sunday at Philadelphia and suburban parishes where the priests most recently served.
