When Richard G. Lennon was named apostolic administrator after the resignation of Cardinal Bernard Law, Lennon told reporters that "he knew 'zero ... nothing' about the extent of sexual abuse by clergy."

But as more archdiocesan documents were released, Lennon's knowledge of and involvement in abuse cases came under renewed scrutiny.
