	Lawyer Seeks Files on All Accused Priests Superior Telegram April 22, 2010 http://www.superiortelegram.com/event/article/id/41754/ A Minneapolis lawyer well-known for representing victims of clergy sexual abuse is demanding the Vatican release its files on every accused priest in the world in connection with a now-deceased cleric who worked in the Diocese of Superior, Wis., and Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Attorney Jeff Anderson is seeking "injunctive release against [the] Vatican for release of lists of offenders and secret files in all clergy abuse cases" in a federal lawsuit alleging now-Pope Benedict XVI and two of his aides engaged in "fraud and concealment" covering up the abuse of more than 200 deaf children by the late Rev. Lawrence Murphy. The suit, filed on behalf of one alleged victim, claims "Certified letters from victim to Vatican seeking help and defrocking of Murphy in 1995 were received but unanswered." The Vatican has denied wrongdoing in the case and maintains Murphy had been removed from service when he died in 1998. Asked by the Duluth News Tribune if "all clergy abuse cases" meant all priests, in the entire world, who have had any accusations against them, a spokesman for Anderson said "yes."
