West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey wants to review allegations of sexual harassment levied against the Most Rev. Michael J. Bransfield, former bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.
Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori, the newly-named apostolic administrator of the diocese, “is emphasizing the importance of this investigation being lay-led,” diocesan spokesman Tim Bishop said today.
