Alphonsus Liguori Penney

Archbishop Alphonsus Liguori Penney (17 September 1924 – 12 December 2017) was a Canadian Roman Catholic priest who was Archbishop of St. John's from 1979–1991. He was born in St. John's, Newfoundland.

Sexual abuse scandal

Penney resigned his position after a commission of inquiry — which he personally appointed — found that he was probably aware of sexual abuse of children by priests in his archdiocese.[1]

gollark: Slightly annoyed at a trade hub person. My offer has sat there for a bit. This is fine - people leave sometimes - but they recently posted another trade.
