The names of defrocked priests are to start being published on the Malta and Gozo church websites with immediate effect, Archbishop Charles Scicluna and Gozo bishop Mario Grech said today.
In a statement this afternoon the bishops said this was in addition to the current practice of informing the parish priest of the town where the former priest would be living. The defrocked priest would also be deleted from the clerical list.
The bishops said that the safeguarding of minors was at the forefront of their aims and the laws both of the state and also of the Church were always observed.
