PHILADELPHIA — The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has reinstated a priest suspended after a scathing 2011 grand jury report on child sexual abuse.

The archdiocese said Sunday that Archbishop Charles Chaput decided Monsignor Joseph Logrip is suitable for ministry.

It cited “unsubstantiated allegations that he sexually abused minors over 20 years ago.”

It says Logrip’s case is the last to be decided out of 26 priests put on leave after the grand jury report was unsealed.
