Santa Fe Diocese Releases List of Priests Found Guilty of Sex Abuse
On Tuesday, the Catholic Archdiocese of Santa Fe released the names of 74 priests, deacons and brothers who have been found guilty of sexually abusing a child, either by the Church (canon law), the State (criminal law), or both. The list also includes those who were laicized after being accused of sexually abusing a minor, and those publicly accused where criminal proceedings were not completed (often because of death). AP, reporting on the release, says that it comes after decades of pressure from victims and their families.
