Advocates for victims of sexual abuse by Catholic priests have released a list of more than 300 accused abusers associated with the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Advocates for victims of clergy sexual abuse delivered a list of more than 300 publicly accused abusers to the Roman Catholic archbishop of San Francisco on Thursday as they urged him to release his"secret" files on credibly accused priests.
An archdiocese spokesperson declined to answer emailed questions about why the archbishop hasn't released a list of priests or whether he would reconsider doing so. All but 15 dioceses in the U.S. have either posted their own lists of credibly accused priests or, in the case of Colorado dioceses, provided names to that state's attorney general that were subsequently published, according to the advocacy and research group Bishop-Accountability.org. The group's list doesn't include eparchies, the Eastern Catholic equivalent to dioceses. Twenty-nine provinces of religious orders have also published lists.
Dioceses releasing the names of abusers can be healing for those who survived the abuse, McKiernan said.
