Per notice today from the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, the Holy Father has approved the dismissal of Curtis Wehmeyer from the clerical state. This decision comes more than two years after Wehmeyer pleaded guilty to multiple charges of criminal sexual conduct and possession of child pornography in Ramsey County District Court. Additional charges have also been filed in Wisconsin.
It is unclear why it took so long for a decision to be reached in this matter. Per the Archdiocesan statement, Wehmeyer remains incarcerated.
