Lists of Accused Priests Cardinal William H. Keeler [4] released a list for the Archdiocese of Baltimore on September 25, 2002 and explained that he and the other U.S. bishops were making "an absolute commitment" to disclosure in order to earn forgiveness and rebuild trust – the church's "crisis of trust" was brought on, he wrote, by "horrible an criminal actions, and by inaction and secrecy." Keeler was criticized by some for posting his list; one commentator wrote that he had "burnished his reputation by trashing the reputations of his priests." The Baltimore list was removed from the archdiocesan website before Keeler's retirement in 2007, and for a decade under his successors, Cardinal Edwin F. O'Brien and Archbishop William E. Lori, it was unavailable there. The archdiocese recently – apparently in January 2016 – restored the list to their website in a supplemented version. So far, 162 dioceses and 42 religious order provinces have released lists, to begin with often in compliance with the nonmonetary requirements of a settlement (see, for example, the bankruptcy reorganization plan of the Jesuits' Oregon Province), but more recently, after the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report, voluntarily and in greater numbers. Pro Publica has helpfully collated the names on the lists. The lists vary in completeness, and some are no longer online; we have cached copies of the lists, including the ones no longer available on diocesan websites. When a list has not been released according to the terms of a legal agreement, there are still pressures and considerations of various kinds. It is illuminating, for example, to compare Bishop Michael A. Saltarelli's public letter about the original Wilmington diocesan list, as published in the diocesan newspaper, with the vicar general's letter to an accused priest about the release. After the 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report, more than a dozen attorneys general began similar investigations, as did federal investigators. Those investigations are part of the context for the dramatic increase in diocesan and religious order releases of lists. As of 7/24/24 the following dioceses have not published lists of accused:
In addition, the Colorado Springs, Denver, and Pueblo dioceses in Colorado have not published lists of their own, but they cooperated with the Colorado Attorney General in the AG's production of a report with lists and a supplemental report.

Partial Lists and Lists No Longer Posted: Cleveland OH | Grand Rapids MI | Madison WI | Manchester NH | Orange CA | Portland ME | Venice FL | The U.S. bishops and superiors of religious orders maintain highly detailed records of accused priests and religious, and their chanceries and provincial houses contain millions of pages of files documenting the abuse. Yet the general impulse to make some of that information public has come from outside the church. The first list of accused priests and religious was embedded in the index of Lead Us Not into Temptation, the fundamental 1992 history of the crisis by Jason Berry [number 1 in the photos above]. Berry's work was based on countless conversations with survivors, whose connections with each other – individually and through the organizations SNAP and The Linkup – enabled them to piece together the beginnings of a comprehensive list. Confidentiality clauses in settlements and other mechanisms were designed to keep survivors apart. Yet the victims of these deeply secret crimes gradually connected with each other and began to understand the connections among the abusers and enablers. In 1996, The Linkup released a list of so-called Fallen Catholic Clergy [2, with the late Rick Springer], compiled by Tom Economus and his colleagues. Attorney Sylvia Demarest and the volunteers of Survivors First pursued a similar goal, and their lists were the basis for BishopAccountability.org's database. In the years 2002-2023, the releasing of lists of accused persons by 160 bishops and 30 religious order superiors (see below) is a very positive development. The pace of disclosure has increased since the Pennsylvania Grand Jury report. It is to be hoped that a complete list of accused U.S. diocesan and religious order priests will eventually be released, and that the quality of the church lists will improve, as the better lists encourage other dioceses to enhance theirs. The U.S. list will then serve as a model for a global list. The contingent and conservative nature of the current church lists may be seen from the following examples: • After Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham [6] released a Grand Jury Report on the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, including assignment histories of accused priests, Cardinal Rigali posted similar information on the archdiocesan site. • A list for the Seattle archdiocese, contained in a 2004 Case Review Board Report posted by the archdiocese in 2009 or 2010, provided the names of a mere 9 accused priests (the name of a tenth is redacted). But a 2006 press release counts 53 accused priests. In 2016, the archdiocese posted a much-improved list, responding in part to survivors and Catholic activists. Several trends point to the release of additional diocesan and religious order lists in the future. More and more, survivors have insisted on a list as one of the nonmonetary conditions of a large settlement, because a list promotes healing among victims and helps prevent future abuse. In the Diocese of Joliet IL, survivor David Rudofski [9] demanded the files of accused priests as part of his settlement. The release of the files compelled the diocese to add names to its public list. Bishop Michael A. Saltarelli of Wilmington issued his list for the same reasons, after a suspended Wilmington priest was arrested for abusing a child out of state – the list would "help prevent or deter any further incidents" and "encourage victims of clerical sexual abuse to come forward and seek help." The Capuchin Province of St. Joseph cited similar reasons for its release of names, and in addition hoped that their approach would enhance community support of troubled brothers and hence lower the risk of reoffending. Lawsuits in Minnesota have demanded the release of diocesan lists as a public safety measure and have prevailed [10, attorneys Jeff Anderson and Mike Finnegan; and 11, Archbishop Harry J. Flynn and Archbishop John C. Nienstedt]. The U.S. bishops could decide to adopt the diocesan list as a best practice and could endorse the most effective features of the current lists. Those lists vary greatly in comprehensiveness and usefulness. Some provide assignment histories (e.g., Boston), photographs (e.g., Philadelphia), and information on allegations (e.g., Sacramento). Some include religious order priests (e.g., Baltimore), many do not (e.g., Milwaukee). As the Vatican works, one hopes, to globalize the abuse Norms developed in the United States, the U.S. bishops and superiors of religious orders could pioneer the next step in transparency by together issuing state-of-the-art lists for all dioceses and provinces in the United States. Lists of Accused Priests Released by Dioceses and Religious Institutes
• Alexandria LA – On 2/6/19, the Diocese of Alexandria released a list of accused clergy. Assignment histories were not included. We cached a copy of the 2/6/19 list on 2/21/19. On 1/16/20 we cached a copy of the list, which included four additions made during 2019: Fr Nino Viviano, Fr Theordore Lelieveld, Fr Adrian Molenschot, and Fr Yves Robitaille. We cached the list on 12/9/20, including Fr Gielse Boyer, who had been added by the diocese on 7/6/20. • Altoona-Johnstown PA – On 5/3/16, Bishop Bartchak posted a list of 21 credibly accused priests, 1 accused deacon, and 6 priests who had been suspended from ministry after an allegation. We have cached a copy of that 5/2/16 list. An updated version of the list is dated 7/14/16; we have cached a copy of the 7/14/16 list. The 7/14/16 list does not add any new names, but it changes the status of 4 priests to "Deceased." Two of the priests were already dead (Boyle on 12/14/11 and Coleman on 3/12/14) when the original version of the list called them "Removed From Public Ministry" (Boyle), and "Laicized" (Coleman). The two other priests were Kovach (changed from "Removed From Public Ministry" to "Deceased"), and Luddy (changed from "Laicized" to "Deceased"). Kovach was alive as of 3/17/15, when he testified before the Grand Jury. Luddy was described as "currently in poor health and residing in New Mexico" in the Grand Jury report, which was released on 3/1/16. We cached a copy of the list as of 1/16/20. That list includes one credibly accused priest not listed on the 7/14/16 list: Fr Harold Biller. It also lists 7 new priests as on leave after allegations: Fr Donald Dusza, Fr Stephen J. Gergel, Fr Nicholas J. Mancini, Msgr Robert Mazur, Fr Matthew Misurda, Fr Anthony Petracca, and Fr David Rizzo. The 1/16/20 list does not include one priest who was listed on the 7/14/16 list as credibly accused: Fr Mario Fabbri. The release of the Altoona-Johnstown list fulfilled a commitment made by Bartchak on 3/3/16, after a grand jury report was released on 3/1/16. The grand jury report discussed in detail the allegations against 35 priests. Bartchak lists 28. The 8 priests discussed by the AG but not listed by Bartchak are: Fr. Peter A.M. Bodenschatz, Msgr. Harold J. Burkhardt, Fr. Leonard Inman, Msgr. Thomas Mabon, Fr. Regis Myers, Fr. John Palko, Fr. Gerard Ream, and Fr. Benedict Wolfe. The 1 cleric listed by Bartchak but not discussed by the grand jury is Deacon Thomas Lemmon. The AG report states (p. 12, PDF p. 10): "The Grand Jury was able to document child sexual abuse by at least 50 different priests or religious leaders within the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown." On 3/7/03, Bishop Joseph Adamec had issued a statement listing 13 accused priests. The list is still online, in a superseded but still-live diocesan website. We have cached a copy of Adamec's statement. The bishop was responding to a series of complaints filed by attorney Richard Serbin and media coverage of those complaints, especially in the Tribune-Democrat newspaper. The complaints had described allegations against a list of priests, in addition to the priest whose abuse was directly alleged in the complaint. The first complaint, Gergely, Hoover, and John Doe 1 v. Diocese of Altoona Johnstown, Bishop Adamec, and Bishop Hogan, was filed on 2/6/03. On 2/23/03, additional names were made public through the efforts of lay whistleblower George Foster. Adamec's list was an amalgam of the Serbin and Foster names. On 3/1/16 a grand jury report detailed allegations against 35 Altoona-Johnstown priests, including some priests not publicly known as accused. As mentioned above, the report stated that the grand jury had documented allegations against 50 priests and religious leaders. Bishop Bartchak responded by stating, "I will publish a list of all priests who have been the subject of credible allegations, along with each priest’s current status. The list will be posted on our website." We have cached a copy of Bartchak's statement. On 3/15/16, the grand jury released a presentment detailing allegations against 8 Third Order Regular Franciscans who had worked in the Altoona-Johnstown diocese. None of these men is included by Bartchak in his list, which is limited to diocesan priests. • Amarillo TX – On 1/31/19 the Diocese of Amarillo released a list of priests accused of abusing minors. We cached a copy of the 1/31/19 list. • Anchorage AK – On 1/16/20, the Archdiocese of Anchorage released a list of priests, religious, and lay ministers with credible evidence of sexual misconduct with minors or vulnerable adults. We cached a copy of the 1/16/20 list and letter. • Arlington VA – On 2/13/19, the Diocese of Arlington posted a list of credibly accused. We cached a copy of the 2/13/19 list. We also cached a copy of the 2/25/19 list, which includes a Spanish version appended below the English. We cached a copy of the list on 12/9/20. • Atlanta GA – On 11/6/18 the Archdiocese of Atlanta published a "list of priests, deacons, seminarians and religious credibly accused of sexual abuse of a minor," with an introductory page. We cached a copy of the 11/6/18 list and the 4/1/19 updated list. We cached a copy of the 11/5/20 updated list. • Austin TX – On 1/31/19 the Diocese of Austin posted a list of priests, deacons, and religious with credible allegations. We cached a copy of the 1/31/19 list. We also cached copies of the assignment summaries linked from the list. The assignments are organized alphabetically by town in two groups: in the Diocese of Austin and elsewhere.
• Baltimore MD – The Baltimore list was originally released by Cardinal William Keeler on 9/25/02 and explained in this letter. Each of the 57 names on the original list was linked to a separate page that provided an assignment history for the priest. The Baltimore Sun published the list verbatim, with names and assignments all conveniently displayed together on a single page. In addition to the list and the letter, Keeler also posted a statement of commitment, an explanation of the list, a summary of the costs of the abuse crisis in Baltimore since 1987, a schedule of listening sessions at nine parishes, and help for victim-survivors (including archdiocesan and states attorney phone numbers and links to SNAP). See media coverage and commentary on the list: 1 2 3 4 5 6. In his letter, Keeler stated that he and the other U.S. bishops were making "an absolute commitment" to disclosure in order to earn forgiveness and rebuild trust – the church's "crisis of trust" was brought on, he wrote, by "horrible and criminal actions, and by inaction and secrecy." Keeler did not include in his list 26 priests and brothers whose allegations were received by the archdiocese after their deaths. "We have no reason to disbelieve the victims, however, we have determined not to disclose these names since we cannot question the accused." Notably, for each of the priests and brothers whom Keeler did include, brief information about assignments and allegations was provided. The assignment information included assignments that had not been listed in the Official Catholic Directory at the time of the assignment. In these respects, the list is superior to other diocesan lists. On 9/26/02, the list and related materials were published in The Catholic Review. The archdiocese posted a copy of this edition of The Catholic Review, perhaps on 4/24//19, on its accountability page. We have cached a copy of the 9/26/02 Catholic Review and the accountability page. In Bristol's DA Lists Names of Accused Priests (9/27/02), Michael Rezendes and Matt Carroll of the Boston Globe compared Keeler's list to a list that Sean O'Malley, then bishop of Fall River MA, failed to release. But Keeler was criticized by some for posting his list; one commentator wrote that he had "burnished his reputation by trashing the reputations of his priests." The Baltimore list was removed from the archdiocesan website before Keeler's retirement in 2007, and for nearly a decade the list and its supporting materials were not publicly displayed by Archbishop O'Brien or Archbishop Lori. Then, apparently in January 2016, without publicizing his action, Archbishop Lori posted the Baltimore list again, in a different format, and with 14 new names appended, providing detailed accounts of some clerics accused since Keeler's list was released in September 2002. In April 2016, a glitch was fixed that had made it difficult to navigate from the archdiocesan homepage to the revised and reposted list. The reposted list was publicly noticed for the first time in Baltimore archdiocese posts list of accused priests, by Alison Knezevich, Baltimore Sun (5/9/16). The revised list had a serious flaw. As mentioned above, each name on Cardinal Keeler's old list was linked to a separate webpage that provided brief information about the cleric's assignment history and allegations. It was not a convenient implementation, but the information was accessible. Archbishop Lori's list put the assignment and allegation information in an HTML title tag under each name. When the reader moused over the name, the information appeared in a box but could not be printed. In order to make Archbishop Lori's revised list usable, on 4/4/16 we extracted all the information from the title tags, using the HTML source code for the page, and assembled the information in viewable and printable form. We also reformatted the information so that each assignment is bulleted. Then we created an Excel spreadsheet with all the assignment information in sortable form, so that the list can be analyzed and understood more easily. In his introduction, Lori states that "for greater context, the documents accompanying the 2002 disclosure can also be found at the links further below." We have cached a copy of Lori's Key Policies page, which is revision of Keeler's Commitment to Action. Lori's Key Policies page links to four documents, which we have cached: We cached a copy of the 4/20/17 list. No names had been added to this list since the Lori list that we cached on 4/4/16. We cached a copy of the 9/12/17 list. No names had been added to this list since the Lori list that we cached on 4/4/16.
We cached a copy of the 12/14/18 list. By this time, the archdiocese had added other names, besides the 10 Pennsylvania priests, and reformatted the list to make it more user-friendly, eliminating the roll-over feature. The list now totaled 88 names and was divided into three sections: 1) Keeler's original 57 Priests and Religious Named in the September 2002 Disclosure; 2) Lori's section of Additional Allegations, now expanded with the addition of 7 new names for a total of 21; and 3) Additional Priests Named in the 2018 Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report (the 10 names acknowledged in the 9/7/18 announcement above). The 7 new names added to the Lori section were:
The article List of Maryland Priests Accused of Child Sexual Abuse, by Deb Belt, Patch (2/15/19) reproduces the Baltimore list current at that time. We cached a copy of the 2/15/19 article. It shows that in the time since the 12/14/18 list above, the archdiocese had added 11 accused priests to its list, all but one from recently released lists of accused Jesuits:
On 4/24/19, the archdiocese announced that it had added to the list 23 names of priests "who had been accused of child sexual abuse after they were deceased." We cached a copy of the 4/24/19 announcement and list. This list had been reformatted by the archdiocese to list all the priests alphabetically in one sequence, instead of breaking the list into groups. The 23 new names are italicized in the list, and the original Keeler names are marked with an asterisk. Revisions to the Keeler descriptions are also italicized. The 23 new names were:
In addition to those 23 new names, the 4/24/19 list contains 4 other new priests not yet on the list when the 2/15/19 article above was written:
Perplexingly, as of 6/29/19, the Archdiocese of Baltimore's website no longer provided the up-to-date 4/24/19 list. Instead, the archdiocese has on its website a superseded version dated 4/16/19 (see this 6/29/19 screenshot). There are significant differences between the out-of-date 4/16/19 posted version and the 4/24/19 updated version that is no longer online. We cached copies of both the 4/16/19 list and the 4/24/19 list. Then we used Microsoft Word's document comparison feature to compare the two versions. See the changes made in the 4/16/19 version to create the 4/24/19 version. See also a complete copy of the 4/16/19 version with the changes redlined that were made to create the 4/24/19 version. Note that each list has the same 126 names, but the texts of some of the descriptions are different. The differences include changes in information about assignments and laicization status. We cached a copy of the updated 7/23/19 list. We cached a copy of the 11/4/19 revised list, which added Fr William Migliorini. We cached a copy of the 11/3/20 updated list., which adds the following priests: We cached a copy of the 6/23/22 updated list. • Baton Rouge LA – The Diocese of Baton Rouge released a list of accused clergy on 1/31/19. We cached a copy of the original 1/31/19 list as it appeared in the press, and the 1/31/19 FAQs. We also cached copies of the 2/8/19 revised list and the 3/27/19 revised list. We cached a revised list dated 7/3/19, which includes two new names, Fr. Joseph Guidry and Fr. Robert Limoges, whose addition to the list was announced on 7/7/19. We cached a copy of the revised 6/30/20 list as modified on 11/3/20, which included two new names: Fr Richard Raphael Archer OP and Fr Lawrence Dark CSC. • Beaumont TX – On 1/31/19, the Diocese of Beaumont released a list of clergy with credible allegations. We cached a copy of the 1/31/19 list and the 4/24/19 revised list, which added two names. • Belleville IL – On 12/19/18, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan linked from a press release to a Belleville diocesan list of "clergy removed from ministry," in connection with her Preliminary Findings of the Investigation into Catholic Clergy Sexual Abuse of Minors in Illinois, also dated 12/19/18. We have cached copies of the 12/19/18 Preliminary Findings, the 12/19/18 press release, and the list linked from the release. On the website of the Illinois Catholic Conference is a version of the list whose file name dates the version to 10/18/18. We have cached a copy of this 10/18/18 version of the list. The 10/18/18 version was apparently released in response to a complaint filed by attorney Jeff Anderson on 10/17/18. But AG Madigan observes: "The Dioceses of Belleville, Peoria, Rockford, and Springfield did not take the basic step of publishing a comprehensive list of clergy who had been “credibly” accused until the Office became involved. Even now, these lists, for the most part, remain difficult to locate on the Illinois Dioceses’ websites." The diocese disagrees, stating that "the names of all 17 removed clergy were posted on the Diocese’s website, www.diobelle.org/faith-formation/child-protection before the Attorney General’s investigation," but does not say when. A copy of that page was saved by the Internet Archive on 3/25/18. At that time, the page did not yet provide a link to the list of names. We have cached a copy of that 3/25/18 page. We have cached a copy of the 4/24/29 list. We cached a 7/7/20 revised list that supplied lists of assignments (without years) for diocesan priests. The revised list added two diocesan priests: Fr Thomas W. Miller and Fr Arthur W. Niemeyer. The revised list also listed (without assignments) 15 accused religious order priests:
• Benedictines of Benet Lake WI – This list was released on 1/24/23. We cached a copy of the 1/24/23 list. One of the six priests on this list is Fr. Benet Joseph Holey OSB. The list does not mention that "Fr. Holey" is the same person as the diocesan priest Fr. David A. Holley, listed in the 1964 Official Catholic Directory (OCD) as the curate at St. Philip's in Grafton MA in the Worcester diocese; the parish priests also attended Grafton State Hospital. Previously, his Benedictine entries are: • Benedictines of Conception Abbey MO – This list was released on 8/5/19. We cached a copy of the 8/5/19 list. We cached a copy of the 4/22/20 revised list, which added Fr Victor Heinen OSB. • Benedictines of Marmion Abbey IL – This list was released by 2/24/23. We cached a copy of the list on 2/24/23. • Benedictines of St. John's Abbey MN – This list was released on 12/9/13, shortly after the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis (see below) was ordered by a judge to release their list. We have cached a copy of the 12/9/13 list. In April 2011, St. John's had released an earlier version of this list in compliance with a settlement. That earlier list was sent to prep alumni in a letter dated 4/15/11 from Abbot John Klassen and two "Survivor Representatives in Resolution Process." An undated copy of the letter was posted on the abbey website in April 2011 and removed in Summer 2012. We link to our cached copies of the letters, obtained from Patrick Marker's BehindthePineCurtain.com, which offers useful analysis. We cached a copy of the list as of 1/17/20. It included three names added in 2017 and not included in our 12/9/13 cache: Fr James Kelly OSB, Fr Casimir Plakut OSB, and Fr Augustine John Strub OSB. • Benedictines of Saint Joseph Abbey LA – This list was released in late 2018. We cached a copy of the list. • Biloxi MS – On 1/24/19, the Diocese of Biloxi released a list of 3 accused priests. We cached a copy of the 1/24/19 list. • Birmingham AL – On 12/14/18, the Diocese of Birmingham released a list of accused clergy. We cached a copy of the 12/14/18 list. As of 12/9/20, the list is apparently no longer on the diocesan website. • Bismarck ND – On 1/2/20, the Diocese of Bismarck released a list of clergy with substantiated allegations. We cached a copy of the 1/2/20 list. • Boise ID – On 10/21/19, the Diocese of Boise released a list of credibly accused. We cached a copy of the 10/21/19 list. The diocese posted a revised copy of the list dated 10/24/19. The revised list included one new name (Fr. Colman King); it adjusted Fr. Michael Kiuper in the diocesan list, changing his incident(s) timeframe from 1974 to 1974-1975; it deleted Fr. Michael Kiuper from the order/extern list, where he had also been listed in the 10/21/19 list with different information; it moved Fr. Ruben Garcia from the order/extern list to the diocesan list and adjusted his information; and for all the priests it added their assignments at the time of the abuse incident(s), but without start/stop dates or years. We cached a copy of the 10/24/19 list. • Boston MA – We have cached the original main list posted on 8/25/11; the entire Publication With Respect to Archdiocesan Clergy Accused of Sexual Abuse of a Child as it existed on 1/9/13; and the 1/9/13 posting in its several parts: Cardinal O'Malley's introductory letter, the main list of accused priests, a glossary, the list of priests whose allegations are considered by the archdiocese to be unsubstantiated, O'Malley's letter to priests, and his letter to survivors. We have cached the list on the following dates (U indicates a caching of the "Unsubstantiated" list; dates without a U indicate a caching of the main list with its five categories).
O'Malley limited his list to diocesan clergy – no religious priests, brothers, or sisters were included. Nor were diocesan priests working as externs in Boston. For an analysis of this approach, see Many alleged abusers left off church list, by Michael Rezendes, Boston Globe (11/20/11). O'Malley also excluded from the initial list any priests who were not already known to be accused. Indeed, O'Malley admitted in his accompanying letter that "there are 91 names that are not being included on the lists published today." In contrast, attorney Mitchell Garabedian has maintained a list on his website of all the priests who have been accused of abuse by clients he has represented. See the previous Garabedian lists that we have cached: 1/24/11, 3/28/13, 10/31/14, and 10/1/17. We cached copies of the archdiocese's list as of 1/17/20 and the unsubstantiated list as of 1/17/20. Fr Leonard E. Pelletier had been moved from section C to A; Fr Frederick Barr had been moved from C to unsubstantiated; Fr Francis V. Strahan had been added to C; Fr Richard Donahue had been added to unsubstantiated. Fr Joseph C. Byrne continues to be double-listed in section E and in unsubstantiated. We cached copies of the Boston archdiocese's list as of 12/09/20 and their unsubstantiated list as of 12/09/20. We cached the archdiocese's list as of 5/25/24 and its unsubstantiated list as of 5/25/24. • Bridgeport CT – This list is dated 12/31/15 but the PDF as posted was created on 2/1/15, and it is presented on the diocesan website by a letter from Bishop Caggiano dated 11/14. The letter states that the diocese " is re-promulgating its list" as the USCCB Charter "requires." The list itself cites the diocesan Policies and Procedures, Section 11.2, which " states that the Diocese will maintain a public record, including a website, that lists the names of diocesan priests and deacons who have been removed from ministry under this Policy." We have cached a copy of the 2/1/15 list; the 11/14 Caggiano letter; the 2003 version of the Policies and Procedures, as revised in 2007; a revision of the Policies and Procedures created on 12/2/14, included in a diocesan Handbook, and dated 2015; and Caggiano's letter and decree, both dated 11/30/14, presenting the Handbook. The diocesan list provides lists of assignments but not the years of those assignments. For that information on some of the priests, see the 12/3/14 list posted by the law firm of Tremont Sheldon Robinson Mahoney. On 3/22/19, the Bridgeport diocese announced a letter by Bishop Caggiano describing the release of a revised list (as a webpage and PDF) and a list of accused priests whose allegations hade been settled (as a webpage and PDF). We have cached copies of the 3/22/19 announcement, letter, web settlement list, PDF list of credibly accused, and PDF settlement list. On 5/6/19 we cached the web list of credibly accused. An investigation and file review commissioned by the diocese resulted in a report released on 10/1/19. The report includes a Credibly Accused section that provides more information than the diocese's list. We cached the 1/22/20 web list of credibly accused and the 1/22/20 PDF list of credibly accused. New on those lists were Fr Stephen Gleeson, Fr Jaime Marin-Cordona, Fr Paul Vincent Cleary, and Msgr William A. Genuario. • Brooklyn NY – The Diocese of Brooklyn released a list of clergy with allegations on 2/15/19. We have cached a copy of the 2/15/19 list and Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio's accompanying letter. The list was revised on 2/22/19, adding Fr. John D. Capillo to the list and Fr. Vincent Zollo and Fr. James C. Tugwood to the footnotes; details about several other priests were added or adjusted; we cached a copy of the 2/22/19 list. The list was revised on 6/29/19, adding Fr. Eugene Arnaud and Fr. Francis Evans, and adjusting details re other priests; we cached a copy of the 6/29/19 list. We cached a 9/20/19 revised list, which added: Fr John W. Byrnes and Fr John H. Maurer with their assignments. We cached a 12/7/21 revised list. We cached a 4/15/24 revised list. • Brownsville TX – On 1/31/19, along with the other Texas dioceses, the Diocese of Brownsville released a list of accused priests. We cached a copy of the 1/31/19 list published in the press, and Bishop Daniel E. Flores' accompanying 1/31/19 letter in English and Spanish. We also cached a copy of the 1/31/19 list on 5/23/19. • Buffalo NY – On 3/20/18, the Buffalo diocese posted a list that identified "diocesan priests who were removed from ministry, were retired, or left ministry after allegations of sexual abuse of a minor. This list also includes deceased priests with more than one allegation made against them. The year of death is listed next to those who are deceased." We have cached a PDF of the 3/20/18 list, and a PDF of the list that the diocese released to the news media. The list named 42 accused diocesan priests, 27 of whom had not been publicly named before as accused. On 2/27/04, Msgr. Robert J. Cunningham, Diocesan Administrator, had stated that the Buffalo diocese counted 53 accused diocesan priests, but had not provided names. For the 3/20/18 release of names, see Under Pressure, Buffalo Bishop Names 42 Priests Accused of Abuse, by Jay Tokasz, Buffalo News (3/20/18). See also the Chrism Mass Homily of Bishop Richard J. Malone. The 3/20/18 list provided no information besides names and death years. Assignment histories were not included; nor were the number or nature of allegations detailed, beyond the statement that deceased priests included on the list had more than one allegation. Moreover, the list as of 6/30/18 was still in the form of a press release on the website of Western New York Catholic, the diocesan newspaper; it was not on the diocesan website, which linked to the press release from its main Protecting God's Children page. - On 11/5/18, the diocese published a list of 36 additional priests accused of abuse. We cached a copy of the 11/5/18 additional list. See Buffalo diocese expands list of credibly accused clerics, by Jonah McKeown, Catholic News Agency (11/5/18). This list included 20 diocesan priests and 16 religious order priests. - On 1/7/19, the diocese announced that two priests (Maryanski and Wolski) had been added to a "website 'List of priests with substantiated allegations of child sexual abuse.'" The announcement linked to a list that consolidated the two new names with the names on the 3/20/18 and 11/5/18 lists. We cached copies of the 1/7/19 announcement. We also cached the consolidated list on 3/27/19 and 4/29/19. On 1/15/19, a week after the 1/7/19 announcement about Maryanski and Wolski, the Jesuit's Northeast province released their list of accused, including lists of assignments (without years or dates). The Northeast Jesuit list included eight Jesuits who had worked in Buffalo assignments (at Canisius HS, Canisius College, St. Michael's church, and St. Anne's church):
Of these eight, only two (Conroy and Gould) appeared among the 16 religious order priests on the 11/5/18 Buffalo list. Instead of adding the six new Jesuits to the Buffalo list, the Buffalo diocese chose to delete the two Jesuits it had listed, and provide a link to the Northeast Jesuit list. This approach may be seen on our 3/27/19 cache of the Buffalo list. We cached a copy of the revised list dated 8/14/19, a PDF which was actually created on 8/20/19. We cached a copy of the 11/5/19 updated list of diocesan priests with substantiated allegations. New on that list were Fr Gerald P. Collins, Fr Richard C. Crumlish, Fr Louis S. Dolinic, and Msgr Charles A. Klauder. We cached a copy of the 11/5/19 revised list of order priests with allegations. We cached a 1/10/22 credibly accused list and a 1/28/22 administrative leave list. • Burlington VT – On 8/22/19, the Diocese of Burlington released a list of credibly accused. We cached a copy of the 8/22/19 list, as well as Bishop Coyne's 8/22/19 letter with other materials and the 8/22/19 list of members of the file review committee. See also Seven Days Tracks Down Ex-Priests Accused of Sex Abuse in Vermont, by Molly Walsh and Derek Brower, Seven Days (9/11/19) with a database version of the Burlington list and its assignments. We cached a copy of the article. • Camden NJ – On 2/13/19, the Diocese of Camden released a list of credibly accused clerics. We cached a copy of the 2/13/19 list. We cached a copy of the list as of 9/26/22. This revised version adds Kenneth James Johnston, Patrick Joseph Mulligan, Daniel James Norton, John Lawrence O'Connor, and Paul C. Wise; and removes Alfred J. Vasapolli. • Capuchins – Province of St. Conrad CO KS MO IL – The province released a list of accused religious on 3/28/19, with a letter from the provincial, a press release, and a FAQ. The Diocese of Salina also published the information in its diocesan newspaper. We cached the province's intro page, the 3/28/19 list, the provincial's letter, the press release, the FAQ, and the Salina diocesan newspaper. • Capuchins – Province of St. Joseph MI – We cached a copy of a list of friars with confirmed allegations and the relevant pages of the report. that included the list: Michael Burnett, Fr. Thomas Doyle, and Dr. James Freiburger, Report of the Audit and Review of the Files of the Capuchin Province of St. Joseph (June 18, 2013); a revised version of the report was created on 6/28/13, when a revised version of the executive summary was also created. We cached a copy of the 6/6/19 statement containing the 1/19 revised list. The 1/19 list noted changes of status for a brother and a priest and added five priests to the list. The new priests were: Fr Roman Ament, Fr Bertold Ascher, Fr Robert Harrison, Fr Emmet Hoffman, and Fr Elmer Stoffel. We cached a copy of the updated 10/1/20 list, which added Fr. Gus Cops to the "Current members" part of the list. • Carmelites – We cached a list of credibly accused dated 11/22/20. We cached updated lists dated 1/20/21 and 5/30/23. • Charleston SC – On 3/29/19, the Diocese of Charleston released a list of credibly accused priests, in English and Spanish, together with a letter from Bishop Robert Guglielmone (E & S), and Questions and Answers (E & S). We have cached copies of the 3/29/19 list (E and S), letter (E & S), and Questions and Answers (E & S). We cached a copy of the 12/31/19 revised list, which added two new names: Fr Louis Williamson and Fr John Gallagher. We cached a copy of the 3/27/20 revised list, which added Fr John [H.] Dux to the Abuse Outside the Diocese of Charleston sublist. • Charlotte NC – On 12/29/19, the Diocese of Charlotte released a list of credibly accused clergy (and two brothers). We cached a copy of the 12/29/19 list. The diocese provided (in pop-ups) each accused person's Charlotte assignments, listed in alphabetical order with no dates or years for each assignment; along with the assignments were accounts of the allegations. In order to facilitate comparisons among the assignments, we combined all the pop-ups into a single PDF. On 2/28/20, the diocese updated their list, adding Fr. Hugh Clarke and Fr. Harold J. Johnson to the list of priests "accused elsewhere." We cached a copy of the 2/28/20 updated list and of the two pop-ups about Clarke and Johnson. • Cheyenne WY – On 6/12/19, the Diocese of Cheyenne published a list of clergy with substantiated allegations, including Bishop Emeritus Hart. We cached a copy of the 6/12/19 list and related materials. We also cached a full copy of the June 2019 issue of the Wyoming Catholic Register in which the list appeared. We cached a copy of the 11/8/19 updated list, which added Fr. Donn Shelley and also adjusted several entries, including the abuse information on Hart and Tellez. We cached a copy of the revised list on 12/11/20, adding Fr Joseph P. Fraher. • Christian Brothers – This list was originally created on 5/30/14, in compliance with Item 3 of the Non-Monetary Commitments of the bankruptcy settlement, and was posted on the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers North America website by 6/3/14. As per the Non-Monetary Commitments, the Christian Brothers posted the names of brothers included in the settlement "who are identified in at least two (2) Sexual Abuse Claims filed as proofs of claim (including proofs of claim for future claims)." We have cached copies of the original 5/30/14 PDF of the list, a 6/30/14 PDF (identical to the first version, but with a date of May 30, 2014 added at the bottom), a 1/15/15 PDF (with Br. J. Matthew Walderman added), and an 11/22/15 PDF that corrects the spelling of Br. Robert E. Beckstrom's name. We have also cached a copy of the Non-Monetary Commitments. Br. J. Matthew Walderman, previously known as Br. John M. Walderman, had been listed in the Christian Brothers' 1/10/14 Reorganization Plan as one of the brothers whose names were being withheld "pending completion of the Province's review of the Abuse Claims against them." Walderman pleaded not guilty in 1986 to charges of transporting a 17-year-old boy for prostitution and solicitation, and the charges were dismissed in 1987. But Walderman was again removed by the order when the 1986 allegation came to light in 2007. We cached a copy of the 5/21/17 revised list, which changes the status of Br John Heathwood to deceased. • Cleveland OH – The Diocese of Cleveland gathered on its website notices of some removals of priests annd laicizations since early 2002. The first notice provides a partial list. We cached a copy of the list of notices, and of each notice it is linked to, including the partial list of 22 priests. On 6/21/19, the diocese released an expanded list. We cached a copy of the revised 6/21/19 list, Bishop Perez's accompanying 6/21/19 letter, and the 6/21/19 press release. We cached a revised list on 8/26/22. • Columbans – This list resulted from a Kinsale Consulting file review, with the Columbans' Review Board considering those Kinsale findings. The introduction to the list states in part: "There have been 463 priests attached to the North American region of the Columban Fathers since 1950... there are names of certain deceased Columban priests not being disclosed at this time, either because allegations about them remain under investigation or they are the subject of pending legal proceedings. If further investigation results in a conclusion that credible allegations are present, or when legal proceedings are concluded, those names will be added to the list. In some cases, files have also been turned over to Columban leaders in other countries for their investigation and follow up action." We cached a 2/15/21 version of the list and a 2/2/22 revised list. • Columbus OH – This list was released on 3/1/19, with a letter from Bishop Frederick Campbell. We have cached a copy of the 3/1/19 list. It is a very basic list, providing only name, ordination year, and status for each priest. No assignment histories are included, and the alleged abuse is not described. A footnote acknowledges that the recently accused Msgr. Thomas Bennett is not on the list; nor are Fr. James Csaszar, Br. Robert E. (Paul) Hayden LBGS, or Br. Fintan Shaffer LBGS. But the list does publicly state for the first time the names of 15 priests accused of abuse whose identities were not known before:
An updated Columbus list was released on 5/23/19, and we cached a copy of the updated 5/23/19 list. We cached a 12/3/19 updated list that removed Msgr Robert A. Brown. It addded Fr John Gamba, Fr Stuart Campbell OP, Fr Joseph Herlihy OP, Fr James Kilkenny OP, Fr Thomas McCarthy OP, Fr Joseph McGuiness OP, Fr Robert Pelkington OP, Fr John Powers OP, and Fr David Schilder. We cached the 2/10/20 revised list, which added Fr. Richard J. McCormick SDB. • Corpus Christi TX – On 1/31/19, the Diocese of Corpus Christi released a list of clerics credibly accused of abusing a minor. We cached a news article reproducing the original 1/31/19 list; we also cached the list as it appeared on 5/23/19. • Covington KY – On 7/31/20, the Diocese of Covington released a list of priests, brothers, sisters, lay employees, and deacons with substantiated allegations of abuse of a minor. We cached a copy of the 7/31/20 list. • Crookston MN – This list was originally released at the request of the Grand Forks Herald. See Crookston Diocese Releases List of Accused Priests, by Stephen J. Lee, Grand Forks Herald (1/24/14). We have cached the 1/24/14 list. On 3/26/14 the diocese created a revised list, adding Rev. Othman Hohmann OSB. We have cached the 3/26/14 list. On 10/23/14, the diocese created a revised list that included Rev. Gerald Foley; we have cached a copy of the 10/23/14 list. On 9/21/17, the diocese released a statement about two Benedictines, Fr. Casimir Plakut OSB and Fr. Augustine John Strub OSB, who had been named by St. John's Abbey on 9/18/17 as accused. (We have cached the 9/21/17 statement.) Crookston added Plakut and Strub to the diocesan list, but did not specify where the priests had been assigned. St. John's had stated that Plakut's Crookston assignments were in Detroit Lakes and Naytahwausch, and that Strub's Crookston assignments were in Naytahwausch and Callaway. In addition, St. John's stated that Plakut had worked in towns of the Duluth and St. Cloud dioceses, and that Strub had worked in towns in the Duluth diocese. As of 9/28/17, the Crookston diocese had two versions of its list on its website, one created on 9/21/17 that includes Plakut and Strub, and one modified on 3/26/14 that does not. We have cached the 9/21/17 and 3/26/14 lists. Both of those lists no longer include Fr. Gerald Foley. He had been added to the list on 10/23/14, but has since been deleted from the list. As of 9/28/17, the Crookston diocese's Reporting Abuse page links to the list that does not include Plakut and Strub, and no longer includes Foley. As of 9/3/19, those three priests were included on the list. On 1/26/20 we cached the revised and expanded list with assignment and other information, The priests listed since our previous 9/21/17 cache were:
• Crosier Fathers and Brothers – We have created a web version of the Croziers' 3/7/14 list, and we have cached a printable PDF version, because the first version of the list (which we have also cached) had security restrictions that prevented printing. We have also cached another version of the list, a PDF created on 2/3/15 but dated 11/14 in its file name. We've also cached two versions of a 3/6/14 press release by Lisa Cassidy about the list: a revision dated 7/28/14 and another revision dated 11/3/14. The earlier release includes a quote that "the last occurrence of abuse took place more than 20 years ago." The later version revises that statement to read "25 years ago." A revised version of Cassidy's statement was posted on 1/27/17, containing a link to a revised version of the Crosiers' PDF list of credibly accused. We have cached copies of the 1/27/17 statement and list. The 1/27/17 list does not include Fr. Kenneth M. Opat OSC as credibly accused. As of 6/7/17, the 1/27/17 list was the version of record. According to a 5/4/16 Crosier statement, the Crosiers received word on 5/2/16 of a lawsuit alleging that Opat had sexually abused a minor. In 6/02 the Crosiers had hired the Minneapolis law firm of Faegre & Benson to review the order's abuse cases and files, after revelations regarding alleged abuse by Bro. Gregory Madigan in 5/02. On 10/8/02 the order released materials on cases and policies, and a list of eight clerics restricted because of abuse allegations. Earlier a newspaper report had stated that eleven Crosiers had been accused of abuse. Media coverage 1 2 provided the names of the eight, but the Crosiers' online materials appear not to have included the names, and the order appears not to have posted the names since. See also media coverage later in 2002 and the Crosiers' reply 1 2. We cached the 12/6/23 revised list. • Dallas TX – On 1/31/19, the Diocese of Dallas released a list of accused priests. We cached copies of the list on 2/7/19 and 5/23/19. We cached copies of the priest detail pages for each of the accused on 7/10/19. Those Priest Details pages are linked here:
• Davenport IA – This table has been updated periodically by the diocese. We have several cached versions: 7/14/08, 5/21/09, 7/6/12, 11/2/12, 2/23/16, 6/16, 10/8/18, 10/1/19, and 12/12/19 (adding Fr Richard Poster), as well as Bishop Franklin's 2/25/04 report and the report with our commentary. The list PDF'd on 10/1/19 is still stated on the diocesan homepage to have been "revised 10/2018." But the 10/1/19 PDF differs from the 10/8/18 list both in its name and in its "created" date. On August 21, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court ordered the diocese to add three new priests to its list. The diocese did its own investigation, and "found that the allegations were not substantiated by clear and convincing evidence, a more rigorous standard [than preponderance of the evidence] always utilized with deceased priests because they are not alive to defend themselves." The diocese listed the three priests separately on its site, in a file entitled Court-Ordered Listing, instead of including them in its List of Credible Allegations Against Priests, Brothers and Lay Employees. We have cached a 9/5/12 copy of the Court-Ordered Listing. • Des Moines IA – On 4/4/19, the Diocese of Des Moines released a "list of substantiated abuse" with a letter from Bishop Richard Pates. We have cached copies of the 4/4/19 list and 4/3/19 letter. • Dominicans – Province of the Most Holy Name of Jesus (Western US) – We cached a copy of the 10/26/21 list. • Dominicans – Province of St. Albert the Great (NY and Midwest US) – On 4/21/22 the Dominicans of the Province of St. Albert the Great posted a list showing the Status of Friars with Established Allegations. We cached copies of the 4/21/22, 7/8/22, 11/30/22, and 6/9/23 lists. • Duluth MN – As of 3/25/14, the diocesan homepage provided links to the list as revised on 3/19/14 and related materials. We have cached the list that was originally released on 12/31/13, and that list separately and together with related pages as they existed on the diocesan website on 1/6/14: homepage, sexual misconduct page, list, statement by Bishop Sirba, disclosure Q&A, Charter Q&A, and glossary of terms used in the John Jay study. We have also cached the 2/20/14 revision of the list that added two names: Conlon and Porter; and the list as updated on 3/19/14 to include Rev. Urban Schmitt OSC, after the Crosiers included him in the list that they released on 3/7/14. We have also cached two other versions, created on 12/3/15 and 12/9/15, which added other accused priests to the Addendem [sic], including accused priests listed on 7/6/15 by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate under the nonmonetary terms of a settlement. We cached the 11/26/19 revised list, which added Fr Robert Bedrosian MSF, Fr Roland Antus, and Fr William C. Graham. The 11/26/19 list also adds a section of links to lists of religious orders and other dioceses. We cached the 3/28/24 revised list, which removed Graham. • Edmundites – On 9/25/19, the newspaper Seven Days published an article about a list of Edmundites with allegations, "quietly" posted by the Society of St. Edmund. We cached a copy of the article. The PDF of the list was created on 8/7/19, but it is not known when the Edmundites posted the list on the web. We cached a copy of the 8/7/19 PDF, and on 10/1/19 we cached a copy of the Edmundites' Safe Environments page, which contains the PDF list. • El Paso TX – On 1/31/19, the Diocese of El Paso released a list of clergy with credible allegations. We cached a copy of the 1/31/19 list and related materials. The El Paso diocese also posted on 1/31/19 a copy of the list of the Central and Southern Province of the Jesuits. A confusing introductory note states: "We are including the list that was recently published by the Jesuits U. S. Central and Southern Province because it contains the names of two [sic] Jesuits who served in El Paso for a time but whose known cases of abuse did not take place here. T[h]ey are: Austin N. Park, Benjamin Wren, Edward D. De Russy, Claude L. Ory, Claude P. Boudreax and Patrick H. O’Liddy." • Erie PA – The Erie diocese released its list on 4/6/18 along with Bishop Persico's statement, Communications Director Anne-Marie Welsh's statement, and a revised diocesan abuse policy. We've cached copies of the list, Persico's statement, Welsh's statement, and the revised policy. The initial list and subsequent revisions provided basic information: name, current location, and status. Ordination year, assignments, and allegation information were not included. • Evansville IN – On 2/22/19, the Diocese of Evansville released a list of credibly accused clergy. We cached a copy of the 2/22/19 list. and a copy of Bishop Joseph M. Siegel's 2/22/19 letter. On the same day, the diocese posted statements on investigations of Fr. Raymond Kuper and Fr. Dave Fleck. We cached copies of the 2/22/10 Kuper statement and the 2/22/19 Fleck statement. Kuper and Fleck were not included in the 2/22/19 list. • Fall River MA – On 1/7/21, the Diocese of Fall River released three lists of accused clergy. On 1/26/21 we cached those lists of credibly accused, publicly accused, and cases in process. We also cached ancillary materials on 1/26/21: a news release, a summary of the diocesan response, a glossary and FAQs, and a letter about the file review and the creation of the lists. On 12/13/21, the diocese announced that allegations had been found credible against Fr James F. Buckley, Fr Edward J. Byington, and Fr Richard E. Degagne. We cached a copy of the 12/20/21 list, which added those priests by moving them from the cases-in-process list. On 8/25/22, the diocese announced the addition to the credibly accused list of Fr John A. Gomes and Fr Michael Kuhn, and the addition of Fr Adrian Donachie OFM to the list of publicly accused. We cached copies of the 9/29/22 credibly accused list and the 8/25/22 publicly accused list showing these additions. • Fargo ND – On 1/2/20, the Diocese of Fargo released a list of clergy with substantiated allegations. We cached a copy of the 1/2/20 list. • Fort Wayne-South Bend IN – The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend released a list of credibly accused priests on 9/18/18. We have cached a copy of the 9/18/18 list. A revised list was posted on 3/28/19; we have cached a copy of the 3/28/19 list.

We cached the revised 12/4/20 list, which added Fr Barry (Finbar) Coyle OFM and Fr. John J. Powell SJ. • Franciscans – Holy Name Province – This list was posted on 10/8/21. We cached a copy of the 10/8/21 list. • Franciscans – Province of Our Lady of Guadalupe – This list was posted by the Our Lady of Guadalupe Province, but the priests listed are friars (priests and brothers, not distinguished) from Holy Name Province, Assumption Province, Sacred Heart Province, and St. John the Baptist Province. We cached a copy of the list on 1/16/24. • Franciscans – Province of St. Barbara – This list was released on 5/31/19. We have cached a copy of the 5/31/19 list and the FAQs. We cached a 9/8/20 updated list. We cached a 11/2023 updated list that included men who were not on the 2020 List of Credibly Accused but have been accused of child sexual abuse in one or more of the recently filed lawsuits under legislation reopening the statue of limitations. • Franciscans – Province of St. John the Baptist – We cached a copy of this list as of 6/18/22. • Fresno CA – This list was released on 8/6/21. We cached a copy of the 8/6/21 list. • Gallup NM and AZ – The Diocese of Gallup released its list on December 15, 2014, while its 11/12/13 filing for bankruptcy protection was in process. The diocese initially posted a version of the list without assignment histories for 11 of the 31 accused persons. Our cache of Gallup's initial page was collected on December 16, 2014. The diocese updated the page to provide those assignment histories, as well as a Spanish translation of the bishop's letter. The revision also corrects the entry for Carl Todaro, who was a seminarian, not a priest, as previously stated. We cached the diocese's revised list as a PDF on 1/6/15 and as a webpage with convenient navigation on 2/28/15. Nine persons on the diocese's list were not previously known as accused: Baz, Coutu, Messier, Newton, Runnebaum, Schreiber, Todaro, and Viramontes. The last name of the priest identified incorrectly on the list as Fr. Lucien Meurnier was Meunier. He was a Canadian priest who appears in the Tucson list as Rev. Lucien Meunier de la Pierre, and was also known as Lucien-Luc Meunier and L. Luke Meunier. The Gallup list does not include some accused persons whose allegations were already known publicly. See Some Names Not Included on Diocese Abuser List, by Elizabeth Hardin-Burrola, Gallup Independent, December 23, 2014. We also cached the page on 2/16/16, by which time the status of six priests had been changed to "deceased" since our previous cache on 1/6/15. A date of death is not provided, so it is not clear whether these six priests all died in the last year, or whether the list has simply been made more accurate. The priests are: Baz, Clark, Messier, Murphy, Newton, and Roper. On April 28, 2017, the diocese updated the list, adding Fr. Ephraim Beltramea OFM, Fr. Diego Mazon OFM, and Bro. Mark Schornack OFM. We have cached a copy of the 4/28/17 list. We cached a copy of the 12/10/18 revised list, which added five priests and brought the total to 39 (see Diocese’s list of accused local priests grows to 39, by Elizabeth Hardin-Burrola, December 15, 2018). We cached a copy of the 4/9/19 revised list, which added one priest and brought the total to 40 (see Gallup Diocese adds priest to list of accused, by Elizabeth Hardin-Burrola, Gallup Independent, April 10, 2019). We cached a copy of the 8/2/19 revised list, which added four accused priests: Br Dennis Duffy OFM, Fr Camillus Cavagnaro OFM, Fr Sylvester Mancuso OFM, and Fr Roman Pfalzer OFM. We cached a 11/5/21 update. We cached a 7/2023 update. We cached a 12/2023 update. • Galveston-Houston TX - The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston released a list on 1/31/19. We cached a copy of the 1/31/19 list with the assignment sections expanded. • Gary IN – In late August 2018, the Diocese of Gary posted a link to a list of "Priest Offenders." The PDF of the list was created on 8/27/18, and the diocesan spokesperson discussed the list on 8/28/18, as reported in Diocese of Gary names 10 former priests it found guilty of 'credible actions of sexual molestation of minors', by Carole Carlson, Post-Tribune (August 29, 2018). Above the list on the homepage was posted a link to Bishop Donald Hying's Statement on Recent Reports of Sexual Abuse in the Church, which is dated 8/15/18, but the PDF of the statement was created on 8/29/18. The statement pertains to Rev. Raymond Lukac, who was identified publicly for the first time in the PA GJ report as an accused priest. The report discusses an allegation that Lukac abused a girl in the Gary diocese. Bishop Hying's statement explains that the Gary review board "concluded that there was insufficient evidence to affirm credibility" of the allegation. Lukac is not included in Hying's list of "Priest Offenders." We have cached copies of the 8/27/18 list, the statement, and the look of the diocesan homepage on 9/4/18. We cached a copy of the 9/25/18 revision of the list, which softened the language of the introduction and added assignment information. • Gaylord MI – On 11/14/18, WWTV reported that the Diocese of Gaylord had posted a list of accused priests. We cached a copy of that list on 11/16/18. Google had cached a copy of the list on 11/10/18. WWTV also included in their video report images of a diocesan memo to its priests and staff, stating that "we are not notifying the media regarding this posting at this time and do not want you to make any kind of announcement." We have transcribed the memo as it was shown in the video. The Gaylord diocesan list contained 10 names, of which 4 were already known as accused. The 6 "new" names were: Fr Lionel Harnish, Fr Benedict Marciulionis, Fr Terrence Raymond, Fr Robert Gordon Smith, Fr Laurus Rhode OFM, and Fr Leo Olschaysken O Praem. (Rhode is a Franciscan priest; Olschaysken is a Norbertine.) In addition, Fr. John Tupper, who is known to have been accused by at least two persons, was not included in the Gaylord diocesan list. The Gaylord list named 8 diocesan priests, but in 2004, then-Bishop Cooney counted 10 accused diocesan priests. We cached the list as of 1/18/24. • Glenmary Home Missioners – On 10/11/19, the Glenmary Home Missioners released a list of credibly accused, with a letter from Fr. Dan Dorsey, President of the order. We cached a copy of the 10/11/19 letter and list. • Great Falls-Billings MT – On 8/21/18, the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings posted on its website, in compliance with the Non-Monetary Commitments of the bankruptcy settlement, a list of "accused priests/sisters."

We cached the 1/17/19 revised list including further revisions made on 5/23/19. Our cache combines in a single file the assignment histories that are each in a separate file on the diocesan website. We cached assignment and allegation information updated on 5/6/20 for Buzanowski and Schuh. • Greensburg PA – On 8/14/18, the Greensburg diocese released a list of clergy with credible and substantiated allegations against them, in anticipation of the release of the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report. We cached a copy of the 8/14/18 list. • Harrisburg PA – On 8/1/18, the Diocese of Harrisburg posted a list of clergy and seminarians accused of sexual abuse of a child. On a Youth Protection website separate from the Diocese of Harrisburg website, a brief statement by Bishop Ronald W. Gainer prefaced links to 1) a description of the diocese's Youth Protection Program (effective 8/15/18), 2) a statement by Gainer on child sexual abuse, 3) a statement by Gainer releasing survivors from confidentiality clauses in settlements, 4) the list of clergy and seminarians accused of child sexual abuse with a letter explaining the list, and 5) Gainer's decree that anyone accused of child sexual abuse will have his name removed from any diocesan position of honor, and that the names of all Harrisburg bishops who served from 1947 will be removed from all buildings, facilities, and rooms. We've cached copies of these 8/1/18 documents (1 2 3 4 5) and also a copy of the introductory page. Bishop Gainer's release of the Harrisburg list came a week before the August 8, 2018 date set by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for the release of the redacted 40th Grand Jury Report, unless there were objections to the special master's redactions. The Supreme Court noted in its order that the report depicted "more than 300 clergymen as 'predator priests'" – Gainer includes 71 names on his list, 47 of whom were not previously known to be accused. For Gainer's unusual building decree, see Pennsylvania Diocese Orders Removal of Former Bishops’ Names from Church Buildings, by Laurie Goodstein, NY Times (8/1/18). On 8/6/18, the diocese released an update of the list. We cached a copy of the 8/6/18 updated list. The updated list added one accused priest and appended a list of assignments in an unusual format, organized by parish. • Hartford CT – On 1/22/19, the Archdiocese released a list of "clergy who have been the objects of legal settlements or otherwise credibly accused," as well as credibly accused externs and religious order priests. We cached a copy of the original 1/22/19 list as it was reprinted in the press. The photos in that reprint were added by the Hartford Courant and were not part of the archdiocesan release. We cached copies on 4/28/19 and 5/9/19 of the archdiocesan list and related materials as they appeared together. Names on the archdiocesan list are linked to pop-ups that provide assignment histories and other information on each priest. We cached those pop-ups and created a page that gathers all the assignment and other information as of 6/10/19. We cached the pop-ups again on 5/26/24. • Helena MT – On 4/29/15, the Diocese of Helena posted a list of accused perpetrators, in compliance with the nonmonetary terms of the 3/4/15 Reorganization Plan in the diocese's bankruptcy proceedings.

We cached a copy of the list as of 2/24/19. • Indianapolis IN – On 10/12/18, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis posted a "list of clergy credibly accused of sexual abuse of [a] minor or young person". The list included two priests with "a single claim deemed credible which involved a vulnerable adult, age 18, who was an adolescent when at least the emotional aspects of the relationship began." The archdicoese also separated out four priests accused of abuse by single accusers after the priest's death. The archdiocese states that the "Archdiocesan Review Board recommended, out of an abundance of caution and transparency," that the four be listed. More than half of the names on this list (15 out of a total of 29) were not previously know to be accused. We cached a copy of the 10/12/18 list. The archdiocese updated the list on 12/18/18; we cached a copy of the updated 12/18/18 list. • Jackson MS – On 3/19/19, the Diocese of Jackson released a list of clergy and religious credibly accused of abusing minors, with a letter from Bishop Kopacz.

John Condit) and the 10/12/20 revised list (adding Fr. Severin Lamping OFM and Fr. Stephen Lamping OFM). On 12/21/20, we cached a copy of the diocesan listening sessions. • Jesuits – Central and Southern Province – This list for the consolidated Central and Southern Province of the Jesuits was released on 12/7/18.

The Third Modified Joint Plan of Organization, as originally posted is still online, but its links are broken. At the current location, the Plan links to a version of the list as revised by the Province on 3/13/15. We have cached the list as it was on 7/5/13 and also the 3/13/15 revision. In the latter version, one name has been deleted: Thomas Connolly SJ. We also cached the linked Third Modified Joint Plan on 7/5/13. • Jesuits – West Province – This list for the consolidated West Province of the Jesuits, which includes the old Oregon Province territory, was released on 12/7/18: a list with assignment histories, a FAQ, a letter from the provincial, Fr.

Jose Ribeiro SJ as "mistakenly identified." We cached the 7/21/22 list and the 6/26/23 list. • Juneau AK – On 8/21/19, the Diocese of Juneau released a list of creddibly accused. We cached a copy of the original 8/21/19 list, and a copy of a second version, still dated 8/21/19, that was created on 8/22/19. • Kalamazoo MI – On 4/18/24, the Kalamazoo diocese posted a list of persons disqualified from public ministry. We cached the 4/18/24 disqualified list. The list does not identify the persons on the list who are disqualified because they are credibly accused of child abuse or possession of "child pornography." It does not distinguish among the persons listed for various criteria: • Kansas City KS – On 1/25/19, the Archdiocese of Kansas City KS published in The Leaven, the archdiocesan newspaper, a list of clergy with substantiated claims, along with FAQs and other supporting information. We cached a copy of that 1/25/19 Special Report in the paper edition of The Leaven, and copies of the 1/25/19 list and Archbishop Naumann's 1/25/19 letter as they appeared with comments on The Leaven's website. We cached the list as it appeared on the archdiocesan website as of 7/6/19. We cached the list as it appeared on 3/6/20; Fr Christopher Rossman had been moved from the Unsubstantiated to the Substantiated section and his laicization is noted as pending, and Fr Anthony Palmese had been added from the Omaha list. • Kansas City-Saint Joseph MO – On 9/6/19, the Diocese of Kansas City-Saint Joseph released a list of clergy with substantiated abuse of minors allegations. We cached a copy of the initial list, created on 9/5/19, and a copy of a revision created 9/7/19. We also cached a 9/5/19 letter by Bishop James Johnston with resource links appended, a FAQs, and a Glossary. We cached a revised list created on 3/28/20, which added Fr. Peter Vatter. The diocese published an announcement of the revision on 4/5/20. We cached a revised list on 4/30/21, which adjusted the status for Tierney (newly laicized and deceased) and for Hart, and added the order priests Hartway, Spegele, and Vetter, all known elsewhere as accused. • Knoxville TN – On 11/2/18, the Diocese of Knoxville issued a statement commmenting on the Diocese of Nashville's list of accused priests, because before 1988, the territory of the Knoxville diocese was part of the Nashville diocese. In the statement, two accused Knoxville priests were discussed briefly. We cached a copy of the 11/2/18 statement. We cached a copy of the list as it appeared on 3/6/20. By that date, the Knoxville list had been expanded to include accusaed priests who had worked in the Knoxville diocesan territory when those counties were still part of the Nashville dioese. The 2/28/20 Memphis report had provided a similar section for Western Tennessee. See map showing the separation of the Memphis diocese from Nashville in 1971, and the separation of the Knoxville diocese in 1988. In the expanded Knoxville list, the following accused priests were added as of 3/6/20:
• La Crosse WI – On 1/18/20, the Diocese of La Crosse released a list of clergy with substantiated allegations. We cached a copy of the 1/18/20 list and of Bishop Callahan's 1/18/20 letter. The diocese lists the accused priests as links; clicking on the link opens a new file with information about assignments and allegations of the priest. In our cache of the list, we display all the information in a single PDF. On 2/5/20, the diocese posted an updated list, with seven names of religious order priests added: Fr. Benedict Adams OFM Cap, Fr. J. Michael Cannon SJ, Fr. Thomas R. Haller SJ, Fr. J. Roger Lucey SJ, Fr. Charles Meyer CPPS, Fr. James V. O'Connor SJ, and Fr. Michael A. Spegele CPPS.

We cached the list as of 12/21/2020, which included six new priests, with links to their assignments and other information:
• Lafayette IN – On 9/28/18, the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana published in its newspaper, Catholic Moment, a list of priests with "substantiated allegations." This publication is unusual in citing media coverage in 1997 that first broke the story of abuse in the diocese, including a series in the Indianapolis Star. We have cached a PDF of the 9/28/18 list. On 11/5/18, the diocese released a revised list, adding Fr. Gordon Wagoner; we cached a copy of the 11/5/18 list. On 11/25/19, the diocese posted an updated list, which included one additional name: Fr. Robert Matichek CPPS. The cover page notes the 11/25/19 revision date, but the lists themselves do not.

Both the list and the FAQ are called "updated." The FAQ is an update of a previously released FAQ, but the list is the first public version of the list. We have cached a copy of the 4/12/19 list, the 4/10/19 letter, and the 4/9/19 FAQ. We also cached a copy of the earlier FAQ, downloaded on 2/24/19. Lafayette station KATC covered the story of the list extensively, and published a list of their own for the Lafayette diocese on 1/13/19. We cached a copy of the 4/12/19 revised list. • Lake Charles LA – On 4/11/19, the Diocese of Lake Charles released a list of credibly accused clergy with a letter by Bishop Glen Provost. We have cached a copy of the 4/11/19 list and the letter. On 11/19/19, the diocese posted a revised list including one additional name: Fr. Edward Normanmtowicz MS. We cached a copy of the 11/19/19 revised list. Note that the diocese's file name for this revised list provides the 11/19/19 date, and that is also the date on which the diocese's PDF was created. But at the top of page 1, the 11/19/19 list is labeled "Updated November 14, 2019." We cached a revised list dated 2/4/21, which noted an additional allegation regarding Pullman, received by the diocese in 2/21. • Lansing MI – On 9/27/19, the Diocese of Lansing released a list of clergy with credible allegations. We cached a copy of the 9/27/19 list and the 9/27/19 press release. We cached a copy of the 10/22/19 revised list. We cached a copy of the 7/13/20 revised list., adding Fr. Lehr Barkenquest OSFS, Fr.

Fitzgerald. • Las Cruces NM – On 11/8/18, the Diocese of Las Cruces published a list of "priests and religious credibly accused of sexual abuse of minors who have served within the current territorial boundaries of the diocese of Las Cruces." The list was also published at a slightly different URL. We cached a copy of the 11/8/18 list. The diocese added 13 more names to the list on 2/11/19; we cached a copy of the diocese's 2/11/19 list of additional names and a 2/11/19 press report on the additions. A revised list was posted on 5/9/19, which included the 2/11/19 additions. We cached a copy of the 5/9/19 revised list. A revised list was created on 6/24/19. We cached a copy of the 6/24/19 list. We cached the 1/14/20 revised list. We cached a copy of the 11/13/20 revised list., which added Fr. Barry Coyle OFM, Fr. Lambert Dannenfelser, Fr. Fran Davied OFM, Fr. Kevin McDonald, Fr. Juan Montoya OFM, and Fr. Roman Pfalzer. • Las Vegas NV – On 4/12/19, the Diocese of Las Vegas released a list of credibly accused clergy, with a letter from Bishop and a FAQs.

Guillermo Izquierdo LC. • Lexington KY – On 8/14/20, the Diocese of Lexington released a report listing priests with substantiated, credible, and public allegations of abusing a minor.

The diocese's report with list does not appear to be on the diocesan website any longer. • Lincoln NE – On 4/2/19, the Diocese of Lincoln released a list of priests with substantiated allegations. We have cached a copy of the 4/2/19 list. • Little Rock AR – On September 10, 2018, the Diocese of Little Rock released a list of "clergy for whom allegations of sexual abuse of a minor have been admitted, substantiated or determined or considered to be credible." In addition to the list, which provided status, victim information, and assignments, the diocese released a letter from Bishop Anthony B. Taylor and a FAQ page. Taylor stated that the diocese had retained Kathleen McChesney's Kinsale Management Consulting to review diocesan files, after which the list would be updated. Kinsale would also assess the performance of bishops and superiors of religious orders. We have cached copies of the 9/10/18 list, the Taylor letter, and the FAQ. On 10/23/18, Bishop Taylor released a letter stating that 26 additional allegations had been received since the initial release of the list, some regarding priests not yet listed by the diocese. We cached a copy of the 10/23/18 letter. We cached a copy of the list on 11/16/18, at which time the list showed no updates to the numbers of accusers nor the names of accused. On 2/8/19, Bishop Taylor announced the end of the Kinsale file review, and described the revisions to the list that the review required. We cached a copy of the 2/8/19 Taylor letter and the 2/6/19 Kinsale exit letter. The names Taylor stated had been added to the list were Rajmund, Wright, Behnke, Hentrich, Holmes, McCarthy, Mitchell, Nicholson, and Thorne. We cached a copy of the list on 7/17/19, which showed those priests having been added; it also listed two additional priests, De Dominicis and Schwellenbach. The 7/17/19 list also changed Zimmer to Zimmerer, and increased the victim counts of Correnti, McDaniel, and Haas. We cached a copy of the list on 10/23/19. It added one name, Myers, and increased the victim count for Mooney. As of 10/23/19, 9 victims had been added to the original 9/10/18 list, out of the 26 additional allegations that Bishop Taylor had announced in his 10/23/18. It is not known how many victims have come forward to the diocese since 10/23/18. We cached a copy of the list with assignment information as of 12/22/20, which added (since our 10/23/19 cache): Fr. Gary Carr, Fr. Patrick Hannon OSB, Fr. Conrad Kinder SVD, Fr. Edward Simpson, and Fr. Francis Zimmerer OSB. Unfortunately, in late 2019 or early 2020, the list was modified to make a binary distinction between priests with a single allegation and priests with "multiple" allegations, instead of specifying the number of allegations for each priest. • Los Angeles CA – On 2/17/04, Cardinal Mahony released a list of 211 named clerics accused in the Los Angeles archdiocese, as an Appendix to his Report to the People of God, which counted (as opposed to naming) 244 accused. On 5/17/04, the list was removed from the archdiocesan site, as stated in a second errata sheet released by the archdiocese. A third errata sheet stated that the list and the three errata sheets could be requested from the archdiocese via snail mail. The complicated history of the Los Angeles archdiocesan lists, and their publications and removals from the archdiocesan website, is detailed below. On 12/6/18, the archdiocese released an update and supplement to the various lists it had published over the 14 years previous, but still did not post online the lists that it was updating. We have kept copies online of those lists: The archdiocese's 12/6/18 update was published as a Consolidated List noting the current status of all the priests and brothers originally listed in those seven previous lists, without posting the lists themselves. We've cached a copy of the 12/6/18 Consolidated List. The Consolidated List was described as presenting the "current status" of "persons named in the Report to the People of God through 2008," but in fact, the list from the original Report to the People of God and the various additional names were never collated and consolidated into a public revision of the Report to the People of God. Indeed, the Report and the various additions have been and remain unavailable on the archdiocesan site, though they are available here, at the links above. The Consolidated List included one name not included on any of the other lists, Fr. Ruben Abaya, who had been publicly known since the 1980s as accused, but had never been listed by the archdiocese. The status noted in the Consolidated List was very brief. Each priest and brother had one of these after his name: Deceased [with no date], Lay State [with no date], Retired/No Faculties to Minister [with no date], Left Archdiocese [with no date and no whereabouts], Exonerated/Retired/Full Faculties to Minister or Exonerated/Full Active Ministry [with no account of the exoneration], Inactive, Lay State (Excommunicated) [with no date or explanation], Left Order [with no date or explanation], Active Service, and Unknown On 12/6/18, the Los Angeles archdiocese also posted a 2018 Update listing allegations reported to the archdiocese 2008-2018 regarding priests not listed in previous updates. We have cached a copy of the 12/6/18 2018 Update. As of 12/13/18, the Los Angeles archdiocesan website provided the following lists: the bare-bones Consolidated List noting the current status of accused through 2008; the 2018 Update listing priests accused 2008-2018; and a list of the accused whose files were released on 1/31/13 by the archdiocese under the nonmonetary terms of the 2007 settlement, with links to those files. The history of the Los Angeles list, its deletion from the archdiocesan website, and its replacement with an even more incomplete and much less detailed list, albeit backed by 11,756 pages of clergy files, and the lists' update in 2018, is a complicated one. Our brief history of the LA list, provided below, is based on cached copies of the list that we have saved over the years, and on copies of the list preserved by the Internet Archive. The record of the Internet Archive appears to have been adjusted and modified. There are gaps in the record, PDFs that no longer load, and links that are redirected to different pages or different states of the requested page. Hence the following assessment is a provisional reconstruction of the Los Angeles list's history.
• Louisville KY – On 2/8/19, Archbishop Joseph Kurtz released "Overview and Analysis of Files Provided by the Archdiocese of Louisville," by Mark L. Miller, including lists of priests with substantiated allegations and priests whose allegations were not fully investigated or confirmed. The names in the Miller report are linked to assignment histories of each priest. We cached a 2/11/19 revision of the Miller report. We also cached copies of Kurtz's 2/8/19 Restoring Trust announcement and the 2/8/19 Religious Order Priests and Others list of order priests about whom the archdiocese received accusations of abuse. No assignment information is provided for the order priests. The latter document also lists Bishop J. Kendrick Williams of Lexington for "accusations of the sexual abuse of minors ... related to his time serving as a diocesan priest in the Archdiocese of Louisville. This case was referred to the Holy See." We cached the archdiocese's PDF of accused archdiocesan priests with assignment histories as of 12/22/20, and as of 5/31/22.) • Lubbock TX – On 1/31/19, the Diocese of Lubbock released a list of credibly accused.

See, for example, the letter by Bishop Bullock (2/17/03), the announcement of a file review by Defenbaugh (6/11/19), and the announcement of the conclusion of that review (9/3/19). We cached a copy of the 1/17/20 revised list with Fr Patrick Doherty added. • Manchester NH – On 7/31/19, the Diocese of Manchester released a list pf priests accused of abuse.

Those diocesan timelines were appended to the diocese's 3/3/03 Restoring Trust report. We cached a copy of the list on 5/31/22. We cached a copy of the revised 4/15/24 list. • Marianists – The Marianists released a list on 6/24/20 of members found to have sexually abused a minor. We cached a copy of the 6/24/20 list. We cached a copy of their 11/10/21 updated list. • Marquette MI – The Internet Archive first preserved a copy of the Diocese of Marquette's Status Report on Clerics Accused of Sexual Abuse of Minors on 9/26/16. This list described the status of Revs. Joseph D. Carne, James L. Menapace, and Gary A. Jacobs. The list was updated periodically. We have cached a copy of the list as of 12/13/18, by which time two priests had been added: Rev. Frank M. Lenz and Richard T. Craig. • Memphis TN – On 2/28/20, the Diocese of Memphis released a "Report as to Priests Credibly Accused of Sexual Misconduct Involving Minors that have Served within the Diocese of Memphis." This report was prepared by the diocesan review board and signed by its chairman, Mr. Patrick Lawler. A letter by Bishop Talley and a recent backgrounder about the diocesan review board accompanied the release. We cached a copy of the 2/28/20 release, report, letter, and review board backgrounder. The 2/28/20 list provided in a separate section the names of accused priests who worked in Western Tennessee before the Diocese of Memphis was erected. See map showing the separation of the Memphis diocese from the Nashville diocese in 1971, and the separation of the Knoxville diocese in 1988. • Metuchen NJ – On 2/13/19, the Diocese of Metuchen released a list of credibly accused clergy. We cached a copy of the 2/13/19 list. • Milwaukee WI – This list has been updated periodically by the archdiocese; we have cached the following versions: 7/9/04 [downloaded 8/12/04], with then-Archbishop Dolan's Letter, 12/4/04, 2/6/05, 11/2/05, 1/28/06, 2/9/06, 10/15/06, 2/2/07, 4/4/07, 10/14/07, 11/26/07, 12/21/07, 9/27/08, dated 12/09, 3/2/11, and 3/13 [downloaded 7/1/13]. On 7/1/13 the archdiocese released files that had been placed under seal by Judge Susan V. Kelley early in the archdiocese's bankruptcy. Survivors had sought the release of the documents, and the archdiocese had opposed a release, until it became clear that Kelley intended to unseal at least some files. On the archdiocesan website, the List of Clergy Offenders (see also a cached PDF of the list) was transformed into a portal for accessing the documents: each name, previously not explained, was linked to a description, which was in turn linked to the priest's file and a timeline. The diocese also released an interesting file called Release of Names: Notes on the process to release the clergy offender names in 2004. Compare the way the documents were posted by Jeff Anderson & Associates and by the Journal Sentinel. • Missionaries of the Sacred Heart –We cached the MSC list on 4/22/20. We cached the list on 3/3/21. • Mobile AL – On 12/6/18, the Archdiocese of Mobile released a list of priests and male religious credibly accused of abusing children. We have cached a copy of the 12/6/18 list. As of 6/1/22, the archdiocese appears no longer to offer the list on its website. • Monterey CA – On 1/2/19, the Diocese of Monterey released a list of credibly accused priests. We cached a copy of the 1/2/19 list, along with a copy of Apostolic Administrator Gerald Wilkerson's 1/2/19 letter. We cached a copy of the revised 9/15/21 list. • Nashville TN – On 11/2/18, the Diocese of Nashville posted an article stating that the diocese was publishing "the names of the 13 former priests who served in the diocese who have been accused of sexually abusing a minor." The article is accessible on the diocesan homepage by expanding the "News" items and opening the November 2018 archive. We have cached a copy of the 11/2/18 article. On 11/8/18, the Nashville diocese posted a revision of the original article, correcting an error (Joseph L. Reilly was not deceased), adding assignments for a number of priests, and adding three more priests, Emala, Kemper, and Pratt. The revised article is accessible on the diocesan homepage by expanding the "News" items. We have cached a copy of the revised 11/8/18 article with its list. As of 11/21/18, the article/list is not accessible from the Safe Environment section of the diocesan website. The list is mostly a list of accused diocesan priests, but it includes a Benedictine (Fr. Roger R. Lott OSB) and a Jesuit (Fr. James F.X. Pratt SJ). The list provides dates of birth, ordination, retirement, and death. Sometime a date of dismissal from the priesthood is provided; sometimes just the year. Places of assignment are given, but without start/stop years or dates. Of the names on the list, 11 were already known to be accused, whereas 5 were publicly identified for the first time by the diocesan list. Those "new" accused priests were: Fr. Edward James Cleary, Fr. James Arthur Rudisill, Fr. Edward Albert Walenga, Msgr. William Floyd Davis, and Fr. Joseph L. Reilly. We cached a 10/13/23 updated list.
• Newark NJ – The Diocese of Newark posted a list of credibly accused clergy on 2/13/19, with a letter from Archbishop Tobin in English and Spanish. We have cached a copy of the 2/13/19 list, English letter, and Spanish letter. • New Orleans LA – The archdiocese released a list on 11/2/18 of archdiocesan and religious order priests accused of abusing minors. We cached a copy of the 11/2/18 list, which provided lists of the priests assignments as individual images. On 11/8/18, we cached a second version of the list, in which the assignments were in text format. We also created a webpage of the 11/2/18 list for more convenient viewing and linking. The assignment lists appear to be in alphabetical order, rather than chronological order; no start/stop dates or years are provided for the assignments. A letter by Bishop Gregory Aymond dated 11/2/18 explained the list. We cached a copy of that letter on 11/11/18. In addition to the religious order priests included on the main list, a second list of two Benedictine priests was posted on the archdiocesan site, with a link to a 11/2/18 statement and list on the Saint Joseph Abbey site. We cached the 11/2/18 Aymond letter again after it was modified to include a link to the list as updated on 6/24/19. That updated 2019 list unfortunately has the same URL as the old 2018 list. We used the 6/24/19 link to access the 6/24/19 list and cached a copy of it on 7/22/19. We cached a copy of the 12/23/19 revision of the 2018 Report. We cached the report as of 12/8/20. • New Ulm MN – This list was released on 3/29/16 jointly by the diocese at that URL and by Jeff Anderson & Associates at this URL. We have cached copies of the 3/29/16 diocesan and Anderson lists, as well as their joint statement 1 2. Anderson also posted photographs of the priests, which we have cached. The diocesan list linked to assignment histories for the priests. We have cached copies of those histories: Altermatt, Becker, Buckley, Clark, Fitzgerald, Gleason, Heitzer, Henrich, Majerus, Markey, Marks, Murphy, Roney, Schleisman, Skoblik, and Stark. In addition, we have cached the assignment record provided by Anderson for Fr. Germain Kunz, an accused priest not included on the jointly released list, along with a document posted by Anderson as evidence of the Kunz allegation. Anderson announced the list at a press conference at which two survivors of abuse by Fr. David Roney spoke: Kim Schmit (formerly Jane Doe 18) and Lori Stoltz (formerly Jane Doe 7). At that press conference, Anderson stated that files for the accused priests would be released, and that his firm had worked or was working with 30 Roney victims, 13 Henrich victims, 12 Fitzgerald victims, and 14 Skoblik victims. • New York NY – The Archdiocese of New York released a list of 120 credibly accused priests on 4/26/19, together with a letter from Cardinal Timothy Dolan. We cached a copy of the 4/26/19 list and the letter. The list does not include religious order priests, brothers, or sisters, or extern priests. It provides no information on assignments and no description of the allegations. The list is in three parts: 1) credibly accused archdiocesan priests, 2) accused priests "awaiting final canonical or archdiocesan disposition of allegations," and 3) priests accused in the IRCP process, when those claims were judged eligible. Of the 120 names on the 4/26/19, 67 are "new," i.e. the priests were not previously known publicly to be accused. One of the "new" ones is Bishop James F. McCarthy, removed for alleged sexual misconduct with adult women, but not previously known to have been accused of abuse of a minor. We have not included Fr. John Voglio on this list of newly accused persons, because he seems to be the same priest as Fr. John Voglio SDB, about whom the NH AG received a 2002 complaint of abuse. The 67 new names on the 4/26/19 list are:
In addition to the 120 priests on the 4/26/19 NY lists, notes to the lists name six priests not included or not yet included on the lists: Fr Christopher Pliauplis, Fr James McLucas, Deacon James Rush, Msgr Harry Byrne, Fr Thomas Kreiser, and Fr. Daniel M. O'Hare. On 8/10/20, we cached a copy of the New York list. In the time since the original publication, Fr Charles Coen was moved from List 2 to List 1; Fr John Dwyer was added to List 1; Msgr William Williams and Fr Robery Jeffers were moved from List 2 to the footnote after List 1; Fr Edward M Barry and Fr John McDonagh were added to List 1; Fr Thomas Kreiser and Fr Daniel M O'Hare were removed from the footnote below List 2; and Fr George Murdock was added to List 3. The bolded names are newly accused in the public record. We cached a copy of the New York list on 6/16/22. • Norbertines – St. Norbert's Abbey WI – On 7/19/19, the Norbertines of St. Norbert's Abbey released a list of Norbertines with credible allegations. We cached a copy of the 7/19/19 list. • Norwich CT – On 2/10/19 the Diocese of Norwich posted a "List of Clergy with Allegations of Substance of Sexual Abuse of a Minor," along with a letter from Bishop Michael Cote. We cached a copy of the original list and the letter. The original list included a name in error, and left out several others. See Norwich diocese admits mistake, removes priest who championed gay rights from list of those accused of sexual abuse, by Dave Altimari, Hartford Courant, February 22, 2019; and Survivors say Norwich Diocese’s list of priests accused of sexual abuse is missing names, by Dave Altimari, Hartford Courant, February 13, 2019. On 2/22/19, the diocese corrected the list, removing the the priest it had accused in error and adding three names: Fr. George St. Jean OMI, Fr. Joseph Owens SJ, and Fr. John F. Dority OFM. We have cached a copy of the 2/22/19 corrected and expanded list. We cached a copy of the 3/8/19 updated list. We cached a copy of the 5/12/21 list. • Oakland CA – On 2/17/19 the Diocese of Oakland released a list of priests with credible accusations. We cached a copy of the 2/17/19 list. See also Oakland diocese sat on secret of five priests’ abuse of kids for years, by John Woolfolk, Mercury News (2/20/19). On 6/1/19, the diocese posted an updated version of the list to include priests listed by the Franciscan's Province of St. Barbara in their 5/31/19 list. We cached a copy of the 6/1/19 Oakland list. On 7/6/19, we cached the assignment, photos, and other information about Oakland diocesan priests on the list. We cached a copy of the list on 6/16/22, with a copy of the assignments, photo, and other information of convicted priest Fr. Hector David Mendoza Vela. • Oblates of Mary Immaculate – Former Central Province – This list of seven credibly accused Oblates in the order's former Central Province was created on 7/6/15 by the Oblate's United States Province in compliance with their settlement of claims by Doe 30, and was posted on 7/7/15 by Jeff Anderson and Associates, with a statement from the province. We have cached copies of the 7/6/15 list and statement. Two priests on the list, Rev. Michael Charland OMI and Rev. James Vincent Fitzgerald OMI, were previously known to be accused. The remaining five were new names: Revs. Paul Kabat OMI, Orville Lawrence Munie OMI, Thomas Meyer OMI, Robert Reitmeier OMI, and Emil Twardochleb OMI. The list was released by Anderson at a 7/7/15 press conference at which Joseph McLean, who alleges abuse by Charland, spoke. The United States Province of the Oblates has not itself, as far as we know, posted the list. Nor was the order required to disclose the names of credibly accused priests from its other four former provinces. The disclosure of the Central Province names was a nonmonetary provision of the settlement in late February 2015 of Doe 30 v. Diocese of New Ulm, Diocese of Duluth, and Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Doe 30's lawsuit, alleging abuse of the 13-year-old Doe 30 by Fr. James Vincent Fitzgerald OMI, commenced on 1/29/14. After the Oblates settled in 2/15, the dioceses moved for summary judgment, and District Court Judge John H. Guthmann dismissed the claims against the Diocese of New Ulm. Guthmann granted Duluth's motion in part, but denied its motion to dismiss Doe 30's negligent supervision claim. That claim went to trial on 10/19/15, and on 11/4/15, the jury found for the plaintiff, ordering the Diocese of Duluth and the Oblates to split $8.1 million in damages 60/40. The Oblates had settled previously with Doe 30 for an undisclosed amount; the Diocese of Duluth is responsible for $4.9 million, 60% of the damages.
On 7/7/15, Anderson posted assignment timelines for the seven accused Oblates on the 7/6/15 list. The assignments were researched and established by Anderson; they were not released by the Oblates. • Oblates of St. Francis de Sales – Wilmington and Philadelphia Province – This list was posted as a PDF created on 8/4/11. We cached a copy of the 8/4/11 list. • Ogdensburg NY – On November 10-11, 2018, a letter from Bishop Terry LaValley was "read at Masses or inserted in bulletins." The letter announced that the Diocese of Ogdensburg would release "the names of priests removed from ministry according to the provisions of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People." On the diocesan website, LaValley's letter is in the Bishop's Messages page of LaValley's section of the site. We have cached a copy of the 11/10-11/18 letter. On Tuesday 11/13/18, while the USCCB's General Assembly was holding its 11/12-14/18 meeting in Baltimore, the Ogdensburg diocese posted its "List of Offenders." On 11/20/18 we cached a copy of the 11/13/18 list and also saved a screen shot. Beyond a three-line introduction at the top of the list, no description or explanation was provided by the diocese. Statements by diocesan Director of Communications Darcy Fargo are quoted in Catholic diocese names 28 priests accused of abuse, by Aaron Cerbone, Adirondack Daily Enterprise (11/14/18). We have cached a copy of the article. The list comprised 28 names of diocesan priests, including 16 deceased priests; no religious order priests were included, and no brothers or nuns. The list included 8 priests already publicly identified as accused of abuse, and 20 priests who were publicly identified for the first time as accused. The list did not provide any information besides first and last name and whether the priest was deceased: no middle initials, no ordination years, no assignment histories, and no information about allegations. Below we list the "new" priests on the Ogdensburg list. In order to identify the priests precisely, we have included middle initials, ordination years, and death dates, where we could determine them from the Official Catholic Directory, obituaries, and articles in North Country Catholic, the diocesan newspaper.
We cached a revised 5/20/22 list, which added Fr. Paul [E.] Oehler. • Oklahoma City OK – On 10/3/19, the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City released (in English and Spanish) a list of priests with substantiated allegations, together with supporting materials: a report by the McAfee & Taft law firm on a review of the archdiocese's files, a letter by Archbishop Coakley, a FAQs, a statement on the removal of Fr. James Mikus from ministry, and three graphics. We have cached copies of the 10/3/19 list (E), the file review report (E, S), a summary of the report (S), the Coakley letter (E, S, Vietnamese), the FAQs (E, S), the statement on Mikus (E, S), and the graphics (E 1 2 3; S 1 2 3). The archdiocese also reprinted Top 10 Myths About Clergy Abuse in the Catholic Church, a blog post by Thomas G. Plante. We cached a copy of the post. We cached a 1/21/20 revised list that included assignment histories (without dates or years) and added Fr Marvin Francis Leven. • Omaha NE – The archdiocese released on 11/30/18 a list of accused priests, described as a "list of substantiated claims of clergy sexual abuse of or sexual misconduct with a minor." A very brief "status" of the priest and "description" of the allegation were included, as well as partial lists of assignments without start and stop years. The press release announcing the list stated that it was also included in documents given to the Nebraska attorney general "pertaining to church personnel accused of criminal sexual misconduct since 1978." A FAQ was posted as well. We cached a copy of a 11/30/18 press report that listed the priests in the original Omaha list and their assignments (without dates or years), the 11/30/18 press release, the 11/30/18 FAQs, a 3/1/19 revised list, and a 6/1/19 revised list. For the cached lists, we cached the priests' information individually so that the cached copy captured the entire list. In the archdiocese's original list, only one priest in each section of the list displays at any one time. • Orange CA – We have cached a copy of a 1/10/04 press release that names the accused priests whose cases were included in the data submitted by the diocese to the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Many bishops released statements about their John Jay College submissions, but very few named any accused priests. We cached a copy of an 8/12/16 announcement naming "Members and former members of clergy removed from ministry." Msgr. Stephen Doktorczyk alludes to that announcement in a 12/7/18 letter. A revision of that announcement was apparently released on 11/26/18; we do not have a copy of that revision. Another revision was released on 4/2/19; we cached a copy of the 4/2/19 list. We cached a 12/18/20 revision of the list. • Orlando FL – We cached the 10/6/21 list. • Owensboro KY – On 4/12/19, the Diocese of Owensboro released a list of priests with substantiated allegations. The main page on accountability comprised a letter from Bishop William Medley and links to the other elements, including the list of accused priests with expandable assignment histories, PDFs of Medley's letter in English and Spanish, a PDF of the list without assignments, background, and FAQs. We have cached copies of the 4/12/19 list with assignments expanded, the main accountability page, the list without assignments, the Medley letter in English and Spanish, the background, and FAQs. We cached a copy of the 4/26/19 revision in English and Spanish. That revision does not provide assignments. We cached a copy of the webpage list with assignments as of 7/6/19. On 6/18/22 we cached a copy of the webpage list as updated on 5/18/22. • Paterson NJ – The Diocese of Paterson posted a list of credibly accused priests and deacons on 2/13/19, with a letter from Bishop Serratelli, an explanation of the list, and "questions and answers" about the list. We cached the 2/13/19 list with those materials on 2/23/19. We cached a revised list on 6/18/22. • Paulist Fathers – The Paulists released a list on 3/8/19, with assignment histories and very basic informnation about the allegations. We cached a copy of the 3/8/19 list. We cached a copy of the 10/7/19 revised list, which added Fr. Vincent Francis Holden CSP. We cached the 10/15/20 update. • Pensacola-Tallahassee FL – The Pensacola-Tallahassee diocese posted the names (with assignments) of the accused persons listed by the FL Attorney General, as well as additional names with assignment information. We have cached copy of those lists dated 11/6/20. • Peoria IL – The Internet Archive first preserved a version of the Peoria list on 12/1/18. We have cached copies of the list as it appeared on 12/1/18 and 12/21/18. On 12/21/18 we also cached the seven press releases linked from 16 of the 19 names then on the list. [1 2 3 4 5 6 7] Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who opened an investigation in August 2018 of the six Catholic dioceses in the state, observes: "The Dioceses of Belleville, Peoria, Rockford, and Springfield did not take the basic step of publishing a comprehensive list of clergy who had been “credibly” accused until the Office became involved. [Madigan's investigation began in August 2018.] Even now, these lists, for the most part, remain difficult to locate on the Illinois Dioceses’ websites." The diocese's response does not discuss the timing of its list. We cached a copy of the list as of 1/28/20. We cached a copy of the list as of 6/18/22. We cached a copy of the list as of 5/17/23. We cached a copy of the list as of 6/26/24. • Philadelphia
PA – The archdiocese maintains three lists of "credibly" accused priests: pending and restricted, laicized, and deceased. The Philadelphia lists provide photographs, assignment histories
including time in treatment facilities, and current status. These pages had their beginnings in a page called Laicization Updates. The earliest version of this page that is available from archive.org is dated 11/21/05, shortly after the Philadelphia
Grand Jury report was released on 9/15/05. We have created a PDF of the 11/21/05 Laicization Updates, using the earliest available version of the linked description for each priest. The next stage of the list bundled all three categories together; we have created a PDF of the earliest version preserved at archive.org, dated 8/25/06. • Pittsburgh PA – The Pittsburgh diocese posted a list of accused Pittsburgh priests after the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report was released on 8/14/18. We have cached copies of the four sub-lists that the Pittsburgh diocese released in PDFs: On 10/2/22, we cached these lists: • Providence RI – On 7/1/19, the Diocese of Providence released a list of credibly accused clergy. We cached a copy of the 7/1/19 list and the 7/1/19 FAQs. Names on the list are linked to assignment histories; we cached those assignment histories on 7/4/19. • Raleigh NC – In October 2018 the Diocese of Raleigh released a list of accused clergy. We have cached a copy of the list as of 12/17/18; copies of the list created on 5/29/19 in English and Spanish (adding Msgr. Hugh Clarke and switching Fr. William Presley to the list of priests who abused in Raleigh); and a copy of the 10/22/19 revised list (adding Fr. William Ward and Fr. Donald Scales OSB). We cached the 2/7/20 list, which no longer included Fr. Albert J. Gondek OSFS, but added Fr. Harold Johnson (an extern priest from Boston) and Fr. Edward William Smith (a Glenmary Home Missioner). We cached a 4/24/20 updated list, which added Gondek back in, but removed Smith, Johnson, McGovern, and Pechulis. The 4/24/20 list also states that Edgar Sepulveda has been "dismissed from the clerical state." On the previous list, his status was "suspended, Vatican trial in progress." We cached a copy of the 3/31/21 revised list, which added Smith, Johnson, McGovern, and Pechulis; deleted Gondek; and changed Ghisalberti's status to deceased. • Rapid City SD – On 3/19/19, it was reported that the Diocese of Rapid City had released a list of accused clergy. The initial list and letter from Bishop Robert Gruss was posted as a PDF created on 3/15/19. A revised list was created on 3/21/19. We have cached copies of the letter and list in their 3/15/19 and 3/21/19 versions. • Reno NV – On 4/5/19, the Diocese of Reno released a list of credibly accused clergy, with a letter from Bishop Randolph Calvo and FAQs.

We cached a copy of the 2/13/19 list, along with Bishop Knestout's 2/13/19 letter in English and Spanish. We cached a copy of the 6/27/19 revised list, as well as the 6/27/19 announcement of that revision, which added 6 names to the list. • Rochester NY – We cached a copy of the 6/6/12 list on 7/7/12. We cached a copy of the 10/18 revision on 7/6/19. • Rockford IL – On 11/14/18, the Diocese released a list of priests of the diocese "against whom allegations of sexual abuse of a minor have been substantiated." We have cached a copy of the 11/14/18 list. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who opened an investigation in August 2018 of the six Catholic dioceses in the state, observes: "The Dioceses of Belleville, Peoria, Rockford, and Springfield did not take the basic step of publishing a comprehensive list of clergy who had been “credibly” accused until the Office became involved. Even now, these lists, for the most part, remain difficult to locate on the Illinois Dioceses’ websites." We cached the 5/12/22 updated list. We cached the 3/6/23 updated list. We cached the 4/22/24 updated list. • Rockville Centre NY – The Rockville Centre diocese has posted a link for downloading a List of Accused Clergy, in connection with their Chapter 11 filing. We have cached a copy of that PDF dated 3/18/21. • Sacramento CA – The Diocese of Sacramento released a list of credibly accused clergy on 4/30/19. We have cached their PDF version of the 4/30/19 list, along with Bishop Jaime Soto's letter in English and Spanish. We have also cached web versions of this list downloaded on 5/2/19 and 5/17/19. In the web versions, the list provides name, years active in the diocese, and status. Clicking on the name provides a detailed account of the priest, including details of individual reporting victims and the abuse they suffered. We have cached the priest pages linked from the 5/17/19 list:
• Saginaw MI – The Saginaw diocese announced the list on 4/14/18. The announcement was made by Judge Michael J. Talbot, appointed as delegate the day before by Bishop Joseph R. Cistone, whose home and office had been raided by law enforcement stating that the diocese had failed to cooperate with an ongoing investigation. We cached copies of the diocesan list of accused clergy on 4/25/18, 4/10/19, and 8/9/19. We cached copies of assignment and other information linked from the list, beginning on 7/23/19 and finishing on 8/9/19.
• Saint Augustine FL – The Diocese of Saint Augustine released a list of accused on 11/6/20. We cached a copy of the 11/6/20 list. The diocese's release of the list coincided with the Florida Attorney General's 11/6/20 release of his brief report, which also included a list. The diocesan website apparently no longer includes the diocesan list. • Saint Cloud MN – We have cached a copy of Bishop Donald J. Kettler's original 1/3/14 statement and list. We have also cached a 1/31/14 news report on diocesan revisions to the assignment histories in the original list and on a caveat regarding those histories. Those revisions were incorporated into Kettler's original statement and list; we have cached a copy of the updated version. After the Crosiers released their list (see above) on 3/7/14, Kettler announced on 3/14/14 four additional names (Emon, Funcheon, Weger, and Moeglein) derived from the Crosier list. Kettler did not include a fifth Crosier in his additions, Wendell Mohs, although Mohs is described on the Crosier list as having been on the "Weekend retreat staff, Central Minnesota TEC Program, 1979–82." The Teens Encountering Christ (TEC) Program conducts its retreats at Holy Family Parish, Belle Prairie MN, in the St. Cloud diocese. We have cached a copy of the 3/14/14 announcement of additions. As of 3/18/14, the diocesan website did not maintain this information in a single easily located list. Instead, the original 1/3/14 list is available in the chronologically organized news section, incorporating the 1/31/14 revisions; then the four additional Crosiers are listed in Kettler's 3/14/14 statement, with a partial listing of their St. Cloud assignments. We cached a "list of clergy likely to have abused minors" as revised 5/24/19. • Saint Louis MO – On 7/26/19, the Archdiocese of Saint Louis released of archdiocesan clergy and externs with substantiated allegations. We cached a copy of the 7/26/19 list with other materials. We also cached a copy of the special 7/26/19 edition of the St. Louis Review, which is devoted to the list. • Saint Paul and Minneapolis MN – The archdiocese first released a list under court order, added to it twice on the advice of Kinsale Management Consulting, and added more names after reaching a settlement with Jeff Anderson & Associates:

(All the accused priests discussed in the press release were already listed in BishopAccountability.org's Database of Accused Priests, either as San Jose priests, or as priests in a different diocese.) Many of the priests discussed in the press release were religious order priests; most accused religious were excluded from the diocesan list. We have cached a copy of the 10/24/18 diocesan press release.

Wester explaining his decision and dthe criteria for inclusion. The list includes the names of more than 20 priests not previously known to have been accused. It also includes the names of externs and religious order priests. We've cached a copy of Santa Fe's initial 9/12/17 list with Wester's 9/12/19 letter. We cached a 3/28/18 revision of the list. We cached a 3/8/19 updated list with assigments added. We cached a 4/17/19 list of three priests from elsewhere (Gallup and Las Cruces) who also worked in the archdiocese.

The update added 11 names: • Seattle WA – A partial list for the Seattle archdiocese, contained in a 2004 Case Review Board Report posted by the archdiocese in 2009 or 2010, provided the names of 9 accused priests (the name of a tenth was redacted). But a 2006 press release counted 53 accused priests. We cached a copy of the Case Review Board Report and the press release. See also the Letter to Archbishop Sartain, by members of the Case Review Board, May 6, 2014, objecting to a May 2, 2014 statement that the archdiocese issued about Fr. Harry Quigg, and citing the letter they co-authored to Archbishop Brunett on December 20, 2004. The archdiocese revised its Quigg statement somewhat and reissued the revision on May 9, 2014. On 1/15/16, the archdiocese released a more complete list, making many names public for the first time. This new list included 60 priests (30 Seattle archdiocesan; 14 externs; and 16 order priests); 2 deacons; 14 religious brothers; and 1 religious sister. We cached a copy of that 1/15/16 list, with Archbishop Sartain's letter and FAQs. The FAQs state: "To identify those archdiocesan clergy and religious men and women who served or were known to have resided in the Archdiocese of Seattle for whom allegations of sexual abuse of minors were admitted, established or determined to be credible, the archdiocese hired Dr. Kathleen McChesney and her firm, Kinsale Management Consulting, to conduct an independent review of Archdiocesan files. The names of those identified in this review were then provided to the Archdiocesan Review Board [link] and to Archbishop Sartain who approved the publication of the names set forth in this disclosure... [T]he published list contain[s] all of the names of clergy and religious brothers and sisters that Kinsale Management and the Archdiocesan Review Board determined were credible." The link in the FAQs to the list of Review Board members is broken. We have cached the 9/19/15 list of review board members. On 1/26/16, the archdiocese posted a revised list, which cross-listed Rev. John Cornelius as Rev. John Cornelius McKenna. We cached a copy of the 1/26/16 revised list. Some Seattle parishes have posted a PDF that sorts the archdiocesan list by parish/school. This PDF was created on 1/13/16 by Vice Chancellor Ben Altenhofen, is dated 1/15/16, and was revised 1/29/16. To our knowledge, Seattle is the first diocese or religious order to present their list in this significant format. We obtained our copy from the parish website of St. Theresa's Parish in Federal Way. As of 9/7/16, the parish sort did not appear to be posted on the archdiocesan website. The archdiocese posted a second revision of the list, dated 6/15/16; we have cached a copy of the 6/15/16 list, which does not add any new names. It changes the status of Br. Edward Courtney CFC from "Unknown" to "Left Ministry." We have also cached copies of the 3/3/17 list, which added Fr, Otto Koltzenberg to the list; and the 8/10/18 list, which added Msgr. Philip H. Duffy to the list, as explained in our cached copy of a 8/14/18 press release. That press release incorrectly states that Duffy was the first addition "since first publication in 2016." Koltzenberg first appeared in the 3/3/17 list; his name was not on the previous 6/15/16 list or earlier lists.On 2/28/20, the archdiocese announced that Fr. Mario Cruz had been added to the list. We cached a copy of the 3/2/21 updated list. We cached a copy of the 3/31/23 list. See also the 3/31/23 press release, noting the addition to the list of Sr. Jerry Lyness OP and Fr. Thomas Phelan. • Shreveport LA – On 2/6/19, the Diocese of Shreveport released a list of clergy removed for abusing minors.

A link prominently displayed on the diocesan homepage pointed to a main page wth links to the list, a backgrounder, a letter from Bishop Nickless, and a FAQs. We have cached copies of the 2/25/19 list, backgrounder, letter, and FAQs. The 2/25/19 list comprises 28 names. The list's introductory text notes: "The list originally contained 29 names; however, the diocese received notification that one of the priests has appealed to Rome, and therefore his information is being withheld pending resolution." The FAQs note that Bishop Lawrence D. Soens has been left off the list, although he is accused of abusing many boys in the Davenport diocese, because he is not accused of abuse during the thime he was Bishop of Sioux City. The following priests who are accuse of abusing children in the Sioux City diocese were not included on the list: Fr. Brian J. Danner, Fr. Gerald Hartz (former superintendent of the Sioux City Catholic schools), and Fr. John Kurzak.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who opened an investigation in August 2018 of the six Catholic dioceses in the state, observes: "The Dioceses of Belleville, Peoria, Rockford, and Springfield did not take the basic step of publishing a comprehensive list of clergy who had been “credibly” accused until the Office became involved. Even now, these lists, for the most part, remain difficult to locate on the Illinois Dioceses’ websites." The diocese's response does not discuss its list. We cached a copy of the Springfield IL list as of 12/2/18 with related materials. On 6/18/19, the diocese added to the list Fr. James Patrick O'Hara and Fr. Louis C.Shea. We cached a copy of the Springfield IL list on 6/19/19 showing those two additions. • Springfield-Cape Girardeau MO – We cached a copy of the 11/19/18 list called "13 Diocesan priests credibly accused of sexual abuse of a minor."
