Pope accepts Philadelphia resignation of Cardinal Rigali
Pope Benedict XVI accepted the resignation of Philadelphia Archbishop Cardinal Justin Rigali age 76 and named Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput as his successor. The action follows grand jury reports accusing church officials of covering up abuse by priests and keeping 87 clergy in ministry despite credible claims. Monsignor Lynn faces charges in the case, while Philadelphia officials defend steps taken and a review board criticizes lack of openness.
