More people are calling for a high-ranking Cardinal in the Catholic Church to resign.
A grand jury report accuses Cardinal Donald Wuerl of protecting priests who abused children while he was Bishop of Pittsburgh.
He’s accused of allowing accused priests to be reassigned or reinstated.
In a statement, Wuerl denies any wrongdoing and says he has no plans to step down.
