Msgr. Wallace Harris


A prominent Harlem priest who gave the invocation at Gov. Paterson's inauguration and helped organize Pope Benedict's recent visit was forced to step down Sunday amid allegations he had sexually abused two minors.

Msgr. Wallace Harris, pastor of St. Charles Borromeo Roman Catholic Church on W.141st St., has been barred from acting as a priest pending recommendations from an advisory review board, the Archdiocese of New York said.

"Msgr. Harris has denied the allegations, which concern actions that allegedly occurred 20 years ago," according to a statement issued by archdiocese spokesman Joseph Zwilling.

An allegation of sexual abuse of a minor had been brought to the archdiocese's attention and was referred to the Manhattan district attorney's office, the statement said.

In the course of its investigation, the DA's office received a second allegation of sexual misdeeds by the pastor. Prosecutors reported the second allegation to the archdiocese, which subsequently directed Harris to step aside while the cases are resolved. No charges have been filed against the priest.

The popular Harlem pastor accused of sexually abusing two minors will not be charged because the statute of limitation on the incidents expired, the Manhattan district attorney office said Monday.

The allegations against Msgr. Wallace Harris, pastor of the Church of St. Charles Borromeo on 141st St., happened in the late 1980's, a source said.

The statute of limitation on such offenses is five years.

"If there are any new complaints within the stature - we will investigate them," said DA spokeswoman Alicia Maxey-Greene.

All these phony nigger "pastors" and "reverends" turn out to be up to no good. Nigger churches are a joke.
