The Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia has placed five more priests on leave in the continued fallout from allegations of child sexual abuse. One of the priests, Michael Chapman, was found to have carried out molestation, while the other four were said to have violated undisclosed standards of “behavior and boundaries.” A former top-ranking clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church in Pennsylvania, Monsignor William Lynn, was convicted last year of covering up child sexual abuse by Philadelphia priests.
