Edward C. Malesic

Edward Charles Malesic (born August 14, 1960) is an American prelate of the Catholic Church who has been serving as bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland in Ohio since 2020.

Two years later, Bishop Nicholas C. Dattilo named Malesic as defender of the bond and canonical consulter for the tribunal.

He was consecrated in the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Greensburg on July 13, 2015, by Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, with Bishops Lawrence Eugene Brandt and Ronald William Gainer as co-consecrators.

[6] On June 22, 2020, a man filed a lawsuit against Malesic, the Diocese of Greensburg, and Cardinal Donald Wuerl.

The plaintiff said that Reverend Joseph L. Sredzinski, a priest in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, sexually abused him beginning in 1991, from age 11 to 17.
