June 6, 2005 — The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago has temporarily removed two priests from their churches following allegations of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior.
Archdiocese spokesman Jim Dwyer says Reverend Walter Turlo resigned as priest of Saint Fabian Church in Bridgeview after the archdiocese began investigating allegations that he engaged in inappropriate behavior about 30 years ago. Turlo was the pastor at Saint William Church on the city's northwest side at the time.
Dwyer also says Reverend Bill O'Brien was removed as the pastor of Queen of Angels Church on Chicago's North Side. His removal comes amid an archdiocese investigation of alleged sexual misconduct 25 years ago when he was a priest at a church on the city's southwest side.
