ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) –
The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis on Thursday released its list of priests with credible claims against them of sexually abusing a minor.
ARCHDIOCESE DISCLOSURE
Below is a list of ordained ministers of the Catholic Church who previously had assignments in the archdiocese, and who have had credible claims against them of sexually abusing a minor in our archdiocese. All of these claims have been substantiated, which means that there is reasonable grounds to believe that the reported abuse occurred. Most of the reported incidents of abuse occurred between the mid-1950s and the 1980s, and most of these men have been previously identified in media reports. All of these men have been permanently removed from ministry, and most of them have been out of ministry for a decade or more.
Clergy who have committed acts of sexual abuse have caused insufferable harm to victims, families, parishioners, and the Church. We grieve and pray for all who have been harmed and are committed completely to combating acts of sexual abuse and doing all we can to ensure that these horrors are never repeated in the Church.
THE LIST
Priests with credible claims against them of sexual abuse of a minor
Thomas Adamson – Permanently removed from ministry from our archdiocese in 1985.
John Brown – Permanently removed from ministry in 2002.
Cosmas Dahlheimer – Permanently removed from ministry (date unknown, died in 2004).
