	Judge Bars Release of Accused Priest List Catholic Spirit April 21, 2009 http://thecatholicspirit.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1598&Itemid=27 Ramsey County Judge Gregg John son ruled April 20 that the Arch dio cese of St. Paul and Minneapolis does not have to make public a list of priests who had been accused of sexual abuse. In addition, attorney Jeff Anderson, who was given the list as part of a lawsuit he has filed for an alleged victim, was barred from releasing the information. The list may be used in the trial, which is to begin June 1, but the names may not be made public until there is a hearing and the court rules on whether the evidence is admissible. The list includes the names of 33 priests who have been accused of sexual abuse over the past 50 years. Of those, 23 names have been made pub lic. The remaining 10 have never been charged criminally or civilly with any crime of abuse, nor are any of them in active ministry.
