Attorneys are calling on Cardinal Dolan to remove a priest accused of sexually abusing two children in the Bronx.

Lawyers Helping Survivors of Child Sex Abuse held a press conference in Midtown Thursday asking Father Lawrence J. Quinn be removed from service at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church in Upper Manhattan.

He’s accused of abusing children while assigned to Our Lady of Mercy in Fordham Heights between 1990 to 2001.

Attorneys for survivors of clergy sex abuse say the archdiocese needs to do more to protect children.
