Diocese Of Pittsburgh Puts Local Priest On Administrative Leave Following Complaints Of ‘Inappropriate Conduct’ With Adult Women

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A priest with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh has been placed on administrative leave while officials investigate claims that he had “inappropriate contact” with adult women. The decision regarding the Rev. James Young was announced in a May 4 letter from Bishop David Zubik that was distributed this past weekend in the church bulletins of Saint Ferdinand in Cranberry, Saint Gregory in Zelienople and Holy Redeemer in Ellwood City. Zubik said Young’s removal isn’t an implication of guilt.
