A local priest who was suspended pending an RNC investigation won't be charged, but Father Wayne Dohey will remain suspended from St. Patrick's Parish until a decision comes back from Rome, says Archbishop Martin Currie. Currie says he learned on Friday that the RNC have concluded their investigation. However, he says that doesn't mean Dohey will be reinstated. He says because of the way the Church has treated police investigations in the past, there is now a protocol that must be followed. He says the Church was criticized in Ray Lahey's case for not using information properly. And he says, that's not the only case, so he's following a strict protocol without any exceptions.

Currie says this is his first time following the Vatican's new protocol, but if a priest is guilty of wrongdoing in the eyes of the Church, the punishment can vary. The possible outcomes could be anything from sentencing to a monastery, to being relieved of duties as a priest.
