The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles says that it will release more documents and undo redactions in response to complaints that the files it released last week on priests accused of sexual abuse were incomplete or that the names of church officials who had handled abuse cases had been blacked out. J. Michael Hennigan, a lawyer for the archdiocese, said that he had no idea why the documents were missing, but that as journalists, lawyers and victims caught the omissions, the archdiocese would add the information to the files it had posted online. Last week the archdiocese, under court order after a six-year dispute, made public internal church documents on 124 priests accused of abuse.
