Archbishop Edward M. Egan
New York NY

The staff at BishopAccountability.org is beginning to gather information about Cardinal Edward Egan's role in the sexual abuse crisis. Below you will find recommended readings and the first installment of our Egan archive.

SUGGESTIONS FOR EXPLORING THE EVIDENCE

On Egan's Bridgeport performance, a must read is "Egan Protected Abusive Priests," by Elizabeth Hamilton and Eric Rich, and the same team's assessment of Egan's attempt to shift the blame to the treatment centers, "Doctors: Church Used Us."

For the dramatic story of how one of the protected priests was discovered in hiding, see "Abusive Priest Found in Caribbean Hideaway"and "A Predator Blessed with Charm."

For the terrible impact on survivors and their families, see "A Complete Loss of Faith in Egan: Abuse Victim's Mother Tells of Misplaced Trust" and "A Family Caught Between Faith and a Sister's Dark Secret."

We hope that you will read these and other items in our archives, including Egan's various statements, testimony excerpts, and interviews.
