Some say Archbishop Robert Carlson is now obeying a court order but honestly, virtually no one knows for sure. And we’re upset that he now says he’s found seven more credible abuse reports that he allegedly didn’t mention earlier.

[St. Louis Post-Dispatch]

We’re skeptical about Carlson being “in compliance” because Carlson and his lawyers twice succeeded in keeping these names under wraps– first, by keeping these records hidden for decades and now, under court-ordered sealed for eternity. So no one besides the judge and the lawyers involved know whether the documents Carlson has finally turned over really do meet his legal obligations.
