ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) –
A Ramsey County judge on Monday ordered the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis to release the names of 33 credibly-accused priests released by Dec. 17. The Diocese of Winona must also release its list of 13 priests by the same deadline, bringing the total to 46.
The judge also set a January deadline for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis to release the names of any priests credibly accused since the list of 33 was compiled in January.
The archdiocese sought to release just 29 names, arguing that three of the cases do not have credible evidence and one happened outside of the archdiocese. They also wanted to release one name not originally part of the original list of 33.

Pope Francis on Monday addressed the issue of clergy sex abuse in the Netherlands and called for prayers for the victims.
