The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis has released the names of another 24 priests who have been credibly accused of sexual abuse.
The priests include: John Brown, Ralph Goniea, Paul Palmitessa, Robert Thurner, Edward Beutner, Rudolph Henrich, Joseph Pinkosh, Roger Vaughn, Robert Clark, Reginald Krakovsky, Charles Potocki, Clarence Vavra, Thomas Erickson, Harry Majerus, Robert Ruglovsky, Raymond Walter, Ambrose Filbin, William Marks, James Stark, Adalbert Wolski, Kenneth Gansmann, James Nickel, Michael Stevens and Francis Zachman.
At least six of the priests worked in the Diocese of New Ulm: Clark, Filbin, Henrich, Krakovsky, Majerus and Marks.
The disclosure is part of the archdiocese’s historic settlement and subsequent action plan, which was announced Oct. 13. The case accused Catholic church leaders in Minnesota of creating a public nuisance by failing to warn parishioners about an abusive priest.
