The Catholic Diocese of Birmingham released a startling list last Friday, naming six priests accused of sexually abusing minors.
While the release did include the dates they were removed from the ministry, it did not include where the priests served or what exactly they are accused of.
We have repeatedly asked the Diocese of Birmingham to provide that information, and they acknowledged our request on Friday.
By Monday, a spokesman told us they would get it to us “ASAP,” but as of Tuesday, WHNT News 19 still hadn’t received the information.
WHNT News 19 has called a handful of local Catholic churches to confirm whether or not any of the accused priests served locally, but we’ve been unable to confirm that information at this time.
