• Boston MA (we have cached the original main list posted on 8/25/11; the entire Publication With Respect to Archdiocesan Clergy Accused of Sexual Abuse of a Child as it existed on 1/9/13; and the 1/9/13 posting in its several parts: Cardinal O'Malley's introductory letter, the main list of accused priests, a glossary, the list of priests whose allegations are considered by the archdiocese to be unsubstantiated, O'Malley's letter to priests, and his letter to survivors)
• Bridgeport CT (we have cached a copy of this press release)
• Capuchins – Province of St. Joseph (we cached a copy of this list and of the relevant pages of the report; the list was included in Michael Burnett, Fr. Thomas Doyle, and Dr. James Freiburger, Report of the Audit and Review of the Files of the Capuchin Province of St. Joseph [June 18, 2013]; a revised version of the report was created on 6/28/13, when a revised version of the executive summary was also created)
• Chicago (updated at the same URL with no "revised on" date and no indication of who has been added or what has been changed; see our cached copies of earlier versions; numbers in brackets indicate additions, subtractions, and current totals of priests with substantiated allegations: 3/20/06 [+15=55; see Falsani article for prior total]; 9/15/08 [+7=62]; 1/4/10 [+3–1=64]; 1/14/10 [+1=65]; 10/4/10 [same total as 1/14/10 but updated entries on Craig, Hagan, Hoder, Holihan, Huppenbauer, Kissane, Mayer, McCaffrey, and Weston]; 7/5/11 [same total as 10/4/10 but updated entries on Bowman, Flosi, Hoder, and Kissane]).
• Cincinnati (we have cached a copy of this status report)
• Davenport IA (this table has been updated periodically by the diocese; we have several cached versions: 7/14/08, 5/21/09, 7/6/12, and 11/2/12, as well as Bishop Franklin's 2/25/04 report with our commentary; on August 21, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court ordered the diocese to add three new priests to its list; the diocese did its own investigation, and "found that the allegations were not substantiated by clear and convincing evidence, a more rigorous standard [than preponderance of the evidence] always utilized with deceased priests because they are not alive to defend themselves; the diocese listed the three priests separately on its site, in a file entitled Court-Ordered Listing, instead of including them in its List of Credible Allegations Against Priests, Brothers and Lay Employees; we have cached a 9/5/12 copy of the Court-Ordered Listing)
• Detroit MI (we have cached the reformatted and updated status report as of 1/10/13, the 5/10 status report, and the 10/09 status report)
• Dubuque IA (the table has been updated periodically by the archdiocese; we have cached several versions: 2/21/06, 9/22/06, 4/20/09, 4/26/10, 7/15/12, and 8/1/13; see also our webpage collating the two 2006 versions)
• Fairbanks AK (we have kept a cache of this page; by adding the number of "reports" of abuse, the diocese has improved the original list prepared during the bankruptcy proceedings; we have cached on our site a bankruptcy list that consolidates two files 1 2 posted on the diocesan site on 12/29/09 and linked from a page providing other documents relating to the diocese's bankruptcy filing; we have cached all the bankruptcy documents on our site)
• Fort Worth TX (this list with assignments of "priests with allegations with semblance of truth" was created on 7/18/13; we have cached four versions of this list: 7/18/13; 11/22/10; 12/11/09; and 3/30/07. The 2010 and 2009 lists appear to be identical.
• Jesuits – Oregon Province (this posted list was one of the nonmonetary commitments in the bankruptcy settlement; see the Third Modified Joint Plan of Organization, in a version linked to the list and other commitments on the Oregon Province site; we cached a copy of the list on 7/5/13; we also cached the linked Third Modified Joint Plan on 7/5/13)
• Joliet IL (this list has been updated periodically by the diocese; we have cached five versions: 4/9/06, 6/18/08, 11/14/11, 3/22/12, and 3/12/13); the 3/12/13 list was posted shortly before the court-ordered release of diocesan documents (see Chicago Tribune 3/21/13) that identified six accused priests not previously known publicly: Revs. Andrew Buczyna, Paul Dinan, William Dugal III, John Malzone, James Storm, and Oliver Walsh; in addition to those priests, four priests appeared on the diocesan list for the first time in its 3/12/13 version, though their accusations had been previously known (year of first public allegation is provided in brackets): Revs. James Burnett [2006], James A. Nowak [2012], F. Lee Ryan [2010], and William D. Virtue [2006])
• Kansas City-St. Joseph MO (see pp. 38 ff. of the Graves report, commissioned by Bishop Finn after the Ratigan revelations; we have cached a copy of the report)
• Los Angeles CA (we have cached a copy of the list, published as part of the 2/17/04 Report to the People of God; we have also cached the archdiocese's three errata notices 1 2 3, their 10/12/05 addendum to the report, the 11/15/05 revised addendum, and the so-called final addendum (dated October 2008 but created 1/31/13), all of which list additional accused priests and brothers; see also our page providing links and commentary relating to the 2004 report and 2005 errata and addenda; note that as of 4/3/13, the archdiocese is not posting the errata notices, and is posting only the earlier of the two 2005 addenda, i.e., the version that does not list accused brother Louis Meyer; as of 5/11/12, none of these lists was posted on the archdiocesan site, and the page available as of 4/3/13 appears to have been posted at approximately the time the final addendum was created, on 1/31/13, when the first Los Angeles archdiocesan documents were released by survivors' attorney Anthony DeMarco)
• Milwaukee WI (this list has been updated periodically by the archdiocese; we have cached the following versions: 7/9/04 [downloaded 8/12/04], 12/4/04, 2/6/05, 11/2/05, 1/28/06, 2/9/06, 10/15/06, 2/2/07, 4/4/07, 10/14/07, 11/26/07, 12/21/07, 9/27/08, dated 12/09, 3/2/11, and 3/13 [downloaded 7/1/13])
• Philadelphia PA maintains three lists of "credibly" accused priests: restricted, laicized, and deceased. The archdiocese posted an earlier version of these lists after the Philadelphia Grand Jury report was released on 9/15/05; the archdiocese also maintains an online list of pending cases; the Philadelphia lists provide photographs, assignment histories including time in treatment facilities, and current status; the list is not complete, but it is the best diocesan list
• Phoenix AZ (we cached a copy of the 10/15/12 lists)
• Portland OR (according to a statement by Archbishop Vlazny, the archdiocesan Catholic Sentinel newspaper carried a list of all Portland priests with multiple allegations; this list is not on the archdiocesan website; we link instead to the archdiocese's webpages 1 2 listing some of the accused, with links to files released by the archdiocese under the terms of settlement)
• Rochester NY (we cached a copy of the 6/6/12 list on 7/7/12)
• Spokane WA (in addition to a cached copy of the diocesan list as of 1/28/10, we have cached the identical 11/3/09 version of the list, as well the text of Bishop Skylstad's 10/23/02 announcement)
• Springfield MA (the diocese provides the list as a Word document on their website)
• Toledo OH has on the diocesan website a partial list of accused priests and their status dated 12/31/09; we have cached a copy of that list and a copy of a 2/17/05 list and a 3/30/04 article on an earlier partial list
• Tucson AZ posts this list of accused clergy and other personnel with assignment records on the diocesan website; we have cached a copy of the list; an earlier version was released on 2/27/04 as part of the John Jay report process; Tucson first posted their list on 6/21/02, and was the first diocese to do so.
• Wilmington DE and MD (we cached a copy of the Wilmington list on 2/7/12; the list is required as part of the non-monetary undertakings of the bankruptcy settlement, which also requires a release of documents; Bishop Saltarelli, who had been opposed to posting a list, published his list on 11/16/06 in the diocesan newspaper, at the unanimous urging of his Review Board, after the arrest of Francis DeLuca for alleged rape of a child)
