From Reuters-
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh said on Wednesday it had
removed Cardinal Donald Wuerl’s name from a high school after a grand
jury report on sex abuse in the Church found he had reassigned priests
who had been accused of abusing children, rather than taking stronger
action.
Prior to his current role as archbishop of Washington, Wuerl was bishop
of Pittsburgh from 1988 to 2006. The grand jury report did not accuse
him of personally sexually abusing children.
The Pittsburgh diocese said in a statement that following the release of
the report, Wuerl asked last week for his name to be removed from
Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School, saying he did not want to be
a distraction. The school has been renamed North Catholic High School.
