Parishioners within the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston have been left with questions for months after the resignation of Bishop Michael J. Bransfield among allegations of sexual harassment of adults.

Baltimore Archbishop William Lori, who has been serving as Apostolic Administrator, and a group of outside investigators have been looking into those allegations for months, and have just completed a preliminary investigation.

Diocesan officials now say the fate of Bishop Bransfield is in the hands of the Holy See in Rome.

They will make the final judgment.
