The Catholic Diocese of Green Bay has named another priest who it says sexually abused a minor, bringing the total to 47 priests with confirmed allegations against them.
The diocese in January disclosed 46 priests with substantiated allegations of sexual abuse of a minor over the past 112 years in its 157 parishes. Only 15 of the priests are still alive.
Diocese leaders say they're committed to being more transparent about addressing abuse. The diocese also has set up programs to assist victims of priest abuse.
