Shrine rector investigated
The Diocese of Scranton has begun an investigation intovMgr Walter Rossi, the longstanding rector of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, after he was accused of misconduct.
The diocese had received allegations a year ago, and referred them to Washington archdiocese, which said they were “unfounded”, Scranton diocese said in a statement. “Additional concerns have now surfaced, however.”
The two dioceses will now work together on an investigation. Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Washington, DC, said last week that people should not be convicted by “innuendo”.
