Clergy sex-abuse victims yesterday called on Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley to rescind a "reckless" decision to return a priest to work after charges he accosted a girl and her mother were dismissed.

At a news conference outside archdiocesan headquarters yesterday, the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests challenged O'Malley to hold a public meeting to explain why he placed the Rev. Jerome F. Gillespie at Our Lady of the Assumption in Lynnfield.

"Unfortunately, we've always seen an enormous disconnect between what church officials say in public and what they do in private," David Clohessy said.
