Summary of Allegations Against Father Pasquale Catullo:
Father Pasquale Catullo was ordained a priest in 1963 and served in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. He served in multiple parishes throughout his career. According to the Philadelphia 2005 Grand Jury Report, Father Pasquale was accused in 1969 of abuse of a female high school student. He self-reported the incident and requested to transfer. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia knew of his abuse yet continued to reassign him for 15 years. In late 2004 the Archdiocese of Philadelphia's internal review board found the allegations against Father Catullo to be credible and substantiated.
Father Catullo agreed to the removal of his priestly faculties, to forgo the Church penal process and to accept the imposition of a supervised life of prayer and penance.
Father Catullo's name is included on a secret 1994 memo from Wm. Lynn to Monsignor James Molloy summarizing the sexual abuse allegations hidden in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia's secret archives who were guilty of sexual misconduct with a minor.
Catullo is living at Villa St. Joseph with other accused priests. The nature of his daily supervision is unknown.
