LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A lawyer for alleged victims of molesting priests says they are "not going to be satisfied" until the Archdiocese of Los Angeles releases all its personnel files.

The church has just released summaries of personnel files on alleged molesters. The records show church officials moved accused priests between counseling and new assignments for decades.

Plaintiffs' lawyer Raymond Boucher says the files offer more details about the church's "knowledge" of -- and what he calls their "participation in" -- the molestation of children.

A lawyer for the archdiocese says the summaries "are accurate descriptions of the content of the files" and don't hold back important details.
