Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori has acknowledged that he edited a report to the Vatican to delete mention that a bishop whose conduct he investigated gave financial gifts to nearly a dozen high-ranking Catholic clerics over the years.

 

Bransfield resigned in September as bishop of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, W. Va., under orders from Pope Francis after clerics in the diocese raised concerns about his behavior.

Allegations had surfaced that Bransfield engaged in both sexual and financial misconduct over a course of years.

 

The lay investigators concluded that cash gifts Bransfield gave to dozens of fellow clergymen were part of a pattern of abuse of power that included sexual abuse of young priests and out-of-control spending.

 

Cardinal Donald Wuerl, who recently retired as the archbishop of Washington, and Archbishop Carlo Vigano, a former Vatican ambassador to the United States, were among the powerful officials who received gifts, The Post reported.
