Manchester, N.H. (AP) _ A national advocacy group wants the Diocese of Manchester to publish the names of all its priests accused of sexually abusing minors. A diocese spokesman said that isn't going to happen.

Barbara Blaine, the president and founder of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, visited Manchester on Thursday to push the diocese to release the names of 52 accused priests. She said it's the only way to protect the diocese's children.

A diocesan spokesman, however, said many of the names were made public through the state Attorney General's Office and through civil suits against the diocese. A spokesman said the others are dead.
