Every priest in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York who has a substantial sex-abuse accusation against him has been removed from ministry, according to a report released today.
That finding was revealed in a report by former federal judge and prosecutor Barbara Jones , who was tasked by Cardinal Timothy Dolan with studying the archdiocese’s handling of sex-abuse complaints.
Her findings show a near stop to all abuse in the archdiocese since the early 2000s.
“Almost all the complainants received over the last several years are not complaints of current conduct, but rather they are complaints about conduct which occurred sometimes decades ago,” Jones said.
