An activist group for victims of priest abuse is claiming the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay remains in cover-up mode despite Thursday’s release of suspects’ names by the diocese.

Peter Isely of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests is holding a press conference on the St. Francis Xavier Cathedral steps this morning. He plans to call for Bishop David Ricken to name additional abusive priests who he claims were omitted from the list Ricken released Tuesday.

He also will call for Attorney General Josh Kaul to launch a statewide investigation of clerical sexual abuse and cover-up and to investigate the destruction of personnel records ordered in the Green Bay diocese by its former Bishop David Zubik in 2007.
