A Catholic cleric, who was convicted of disorderly conduct involving a minor and was recently "outed," also worked in Cincinnati. We want Catholic officials from Ohio and Pennsylvania to reach out to victims.

Brother Ralph Mravintz was convicted of disorderly conduct in 1986, which was a reduced charge from sexual assault of a teenage boy. He worked in Pittsburgh in the 1960s and 1980s. He also worked in Cincinnati at Purcell High School from 1948-49.

We want Pittsburgh and Cincinnati Catholic officials to immediately:

– reach out to anyone who was hurt by him and may be suffering in silence and self blame, and

– post on their websites the names of dozens of proven, admitted and credibly accused child molesting clerics – especially those who are still living and may be hurting other kids right now.

Mravinzt is now deceased.

We hope every single person who saw, suspected or suffered clergy sex crimes and cover ups in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati – whether in a school or parish – will come forward, get help, call police, expose wrongdoers and start healing.
