SNAP Calls on Archbishop Robert Carlson to Release Names of “Credibly Accused” Priests, Archdiocese Staffers

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests wants Archbishop Robert Carlson to take further action, following last week’s out-of-court settlement against accused former priest Father Joseph Ross.

“Private eyes told us that Ross is living now in St. Charles County, likely with his relatives,” says SNAP’s David Clohessy. “He’s clearly a serial predator—church officials have admitted this—and we believe that Archbishop Carlson should use his resources to warn families about Father Ross.”

Clohessy also wants the Archbishop to release the names of 115 priests and other St. Louis Archdiocese employees who, according to a list tallied by the church in the Ross case, have been “credibly accused” of child sexual abuse.

The Archdiocese released a statement on Ross saying it doesn’t keep track of ex-priests, and it can’t reveal the names of the 115 accused staffers because it doesn’t comment on personnel matters.
