By the end of the year the Catholic Diocese of Charlotte is expected to release its list of priests "credibly accused" of sexual abuse. A look at what happens then.

Across the country, Catholic Dioceses have been releasing lists of names of clergy who have been accused of sexually abusing minors. The Catholic Diocese of Charlotte has yet to do so but they promise to release the names of priests they deem to be "credibly accused" by the end of this year.

With that date fast approaching, WFAE’s Sarah Delia has been exploring the history of this scandal, the church’s response, what victims hope to gain from the release of these names and what happens after their identity is known in a four-part podcast simply titled, The List. She and others join us to talk about that and more.
