	Critics: Diocese Left Dozens off List of Priests NBC Sandiego April 2, 2007 http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/11494566/detail.html San Diego — Officials from the Catholic Diocese of San Diego say they have named the priests accused of sexually molesting minors in San Diego, but critics are saying that the church's list is missing almost as many priests as it named. The diocese's list names 38 clergymen, the churches and schools they worked at and their current status. Some of those named have died or been reduced to laymen, but others have married, retired or resigned. An attorney representing some of the victims of the sexual abuse told NBC 7/39 that the list should have been much longer. "The list is missing approximately 30 perpetrators, and when you're naming 38, not including 30 is a sharp discrepancy from the truth," said attorney Andrea Leavitt. "It's almost 50 percent from what should have been included back on there, not included on there." The diocese filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February, just hours before the first civil trial was set to begin.
