Archbishop Nienstedt Hopes Release of List Will Restore Trust

The names were made public Thursday following months of criticism that church leaders mishandled allegations of abuse.

Archbishop John Nienstedt says he hopes the move will restore trust; he made comments in a column in the archdiocesan newspaper, The Catholic Spirit. He also announced in a video post online a new policy: new credible claims of sexual abuse against priests will be disclosed on the church run website

He says the 34 names disclosed in the newspaper are not intended to be a final list. He says a review of clergy files is under way, and the list could be updated. Going forward, new abuse claims, that can be substantiated, will be disclosed on the archdiocese website.



He also apologized to victims, and says he is committed to combating sexual abuse and ensuring it is never repeated in the church.



The archdiocese says it has substantiated claims against 30 priests on the list. The remaining four have claims against them that could not be substantiated, but the archdiocese released the names after a court order.



The information includes the clerics' names, parishes where they served, and other details. It does not include details of the allegations.



Most of the names being released already have been in the media. All of the men have been permanently removed from ministry.

The archdiocese released a statement that says, in part, the claims are supported "to the extent we have reliable and sufficient information to determine whether the claim was credible and could be substantiated."

It leaves critics wondering how many more credible claims of sexual abuse have been reported but not substantiated in addition to the four mentioned.

Here is the entire statement from the archdiocese about the list:

Included in this disclosure are clergy members from other dioceses or religious orders who at one time worked in the archdiocese and were accused of engaging in sexual abuse of minors in our archdiocese, to the extent we have reliable and sufficient information to determine whether the claim was credible and could be substantiated. These disclosures will indicate that the individuals are non-diocesan clergy. We may not be able to report on the present status of such clergy members because the archdiocese does not always have access to such information since they are under the authority of their respective diocese or religious order. We do not have sufficient information to make a disclosure regarding priests from outside our archdiocese who may have served here at some point in time but committed child sexual abuse elsewhere. Despite our best efforts to provide accurate information, our listings at this time may include some errors or omissions. The archdiocese requests that anyone with additional information or corrections regarding clergy members that are or should be subject to disclosure, to contact Greta Sawyer, the archdiocese’s Victim Assistance Coordinator at 651-291-4497.
