Richmond diocese forces second priest to resign
The Catholic Diocese of Richmond said 65 year old Rev. John P. Blankenship resigned as Catholic chaplain at the Federal Correctional Institution in Petersburg and from active ministry after a 1982 sexual abuse of a 14 year old male. The resignations come amid other abuse cases and diocese investigations as bishops defend their handling under past guidelines.
