The Archdiocese of Chicago released additional documents Thursday detailing cases of sexual abuse by members of the clergy.

The documents come in addition to those released in January by the Archdiocese that detailed sexual misconduct with minors by 30 priests. The documents released Thursday name 36 Archdiocesan priests who had at least one substantiated allegation of sexual misconduct with a minor, according to a statement on the Archdiocese's website. At least some of them have previously been named by the Archdiocese.

The Archdiocese said they withheld documents related to two additional priests – former Rev. Daniel J. McCormack and Rev. Edward J. Malohney – due to "ongoing processes that do not permit release.

All of the named priests are no longer serving, according to the release.

Within the documents released today are 18 priests who served in Suburban Life communities at the time of the allegations, or at some time before or after.
