As I have noted in previous postings (a bibliography is appended at the end of this posting, covering the past several years), the diocese of Charlotte, North Carolina, is one of the last dioceses in the nation to release a list of priests credibly accused of abusing minors in the diocese, though its sister diocese in Raleigh long since published its list. As I’ve also noted (again, please see the bibliography below), Charlotte Bishop Peter Jugis promised this year that he would release a list of credibly accused priests prior to the end of the year.
That list has yet to be released. As many people, survivors, notably, wait for Jugis’ list, Charlotte’s NPR state WFAE has been issuing very valuable pre-list commentary in a multi-part series of podcasts entitled “The List.” Reporter Sarah Delia is overseeing and producing this important project.
As the “About” statement at the link to which I have just pointed you states: The Charlotte Diocese has made a promise to release by the end of the year a list of clergy credibly accused of sexual abuse. It will be among the last in the country to do so. WFAE looks at what the list represents, the emotional weight and expectations it carries, the resolution it can bring for survivors.
