LOS ANGELES — The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles has added the names of two dozen men to the publicly released list of priests and brothers alleged to have molested children.
The names were in a two-page report posted on the archdiocesan website last month without fanfare at the same time that 12,000 pages of internal records were posted, according to BishopAccountability.org, a nonprofit group that tracks public release of clergy abuse documents.
BishopAccountability.org President Terry McKiernan sent a letter to Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez this week saying it is essential to make public the nature of the allegations “because some of them may still pose a danger to children in Los Angeles, elsewhere in the United States, and in other countries.”
The report said none of the men currently have ministries in the archdiocese. Among them, five have died, three have been defrocked, three are on inactive leave, one was excommunicated and one was suspended.
