The Rev. F. Lee Ryan has been removed from public ministry again.<\/p>\n

Ryan, 79, who has been accused of inappropriate relations with a minor four decades ago, was put back into limited ministry last week after a ruling from the Vatican based on church law.<\/p>\n

But Bishop R. Daniel Conlon announced Tuesday that he has decided to put Ryan back on \u201cfull administrative leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a written statement, Conlon said, \u201cLast week I announced that Father F. Lee Ryan would be permitted to exercise a very narrow priestly ministry. Subsequent discussions that have occurred since that decision have highlighted that any action needs to fulfill the larger need of the Church to confront the scandal of child abuse in its midst and diligently restore trust.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the sake of the greater good of the Church, I have decided to revoke my earlier permission and once again place Fr. Ryan on full administrative leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conlon said he would \u201cinitiate further conversations with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith,\u201d the panel in Rome that found Ryan not guilty based on a church law in place at the time of the alleged abuse. That law refers to discipline against priests who engage in adultery or improper touching with people under the age of 16.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
