ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis is reinstating one priest and removing another from active ministry.
Interim Archbishop Bernard Hebda said Wednesday the Rev. Joseph Gallatin was removed after an allegation of sexual abuse of a minor. The allegation was reported in 1998, but earlier reviews concluded there was insufficient evidence.
But a new ministerial review board concluded there was sufficient evidence. The case has been referred to the Vatican. Gallatin has denied the allegation.
