Overview

• Jake McQuaide interrupted a May 31 mass at Our Lady of the Visitation Church in Green Township, Ohio, to press Archdiocese Chancellor Jason Williams on allegations of a priest’s pornography use on a parish computer.
• Green Township police escorted McQuaide out of the service without detaining or charging him after he insisted on a public response during the mass.
• In a letter read to congregants, Archbishop Robert Casey’s office declared that its investigation found no criminal or ecclesiastical misconduct by Priest Martin Bachman.
• More than 700 parishioners have signed a petition seeking greater transparency, citing a whistleblower’s claim of disturbing images and links found on a laptop in the parish office.
• Martin Bachman is set to begin a previously planned sabbatical in July, which the archdiocese says is unrelated to the allegations.
