Fr. Pasquale R. Catullo
Accused in 1969 of abuse of a female high school student. He self-reported the incident and requested a transfer. The Archdiocese knew of the abuse but continued to reassign him for 15 years. In late 2004, Catullo agreed to permanent removal of his faculties and a supervised life of prayer and penance. The Archdiocese found allegations credible. Catullo’s name is included on a secret 1994 memo from Fr. Wm. Lynn to Msgr. James Molloy (released 2/27/2012) regarding priests in secret archives who were guilty of sexual misconduct with minors.

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
