Harlem pastor resigns, accused of sexual abuse

A prominent Harlem pastor accused of sexually abusing children in the
1980s has resigned.
The Archdiocese of New York says whether Monsignor Wallace Harris
will be formally removed from the priesthood will be decided by the
Vaticans internal affairs office.
He was the highest-ranking black cleric in the archdiocese and once
considered for appointment as a bishop.
In 2008, he arranged Pope Benedict XVIs Mass at Yankee Stadium and
gave the invocation at Gov. David Patersons swearing-in.
The archdiocese suspended Harris that year. Prosecutors say 10 people
lodged complaints against him.
Harris had been a pastor at the Church of St. Charles Borromeo since
1989. Efforts to reach him were unsuccessful.
Statutes of limitations have precluded any criminal charges being
filed.
