CRANTON, Pa. (CNS) – The Vatican Congregation for Clergy has confirmed Scranton Bishop Joseph F. Martino’s decision to suppress the Society of St. John, a small organization of traditionally minded priests that has been troubled by financial difficulties and allegations that two of its members had sexually molested a minor.

The Catholic Light, Scranton diocesan newspaper, reported June 9 that a Vatican decree dated May 3 rejected the society’s appeal against the bishop’s decision to suppress it.
