Rev. Angelo Ditta was removed from active duty just two weeks after Bishop William Murphy saidthere were no credible allegations of sexual abuse against any active priest on Long Island. Thediocese has removed Ditta based on a complaint it has been aware of since 1997. Ditta moved to St.Margaret of Scotland in Selden and Matthew Mosher, who was molested by him beginning when he was 9,would visit Ditta and serve Mass with him.
Last week, the diocese also removed the Rev. Eugene Vollmer, an associate pastor at St. James inSeaford,
