LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.c0m) — While apologizing to victims who were sexually abused by members of the clergy, LA’s Archbishop José H. Gomez also Thursday announced he was stripping his predecessor — Cardinal Roger Mahony — of all administrative and public church duties.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles also released personnel files of more than 100 clergy involved in sexual abuse cases.
The names and files were released as part of a settlement stemming from a 2007 lawsuit. The clergy files include the names of priests and church hierarchy who dealt with the individual cases. The church had fought to keep the names private.
