Robert Schaefer, longtime music director of St. James Catholic Cathedral in Orlando, lost his job Thursday after accusations of sexual abuse surfaced from his past.
His dismissal or resignation — the Catholic Diocese of Orlando was not clear — came after members of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, a support group for victims of clergy, delivered a letter to St. James Cathedral, asking for Schaefer's removal.
In a statement, Diocese of Orlando spokeswoman Carol Brinati said the music director admitted to the abuse when confronted by diocese officials.
