Rev. John Bowe, 64, who worked at the parish of St. Joseph in Warrington from 2005 to 2011, and the Rev. David Givey, 68, who retired in 2006 — were found to have violated a code of behavior that includes a ban on physical contact, but they did not abuse children, the archdiocese said. The priests, who have been removed from ministry and may ultimately be laicized, are among 26 who were placed on administrative leave after a 2011 grand jury report found that several dozen priests accused of abuse were still in active ministry. Five other priests have been found unsuitable for ministry, and 12 others are still under investigation
