NEW ULM — Six priests who worked in the Diocese of New Ulm are among 24 whose files were released by the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis Wednesday because they had substantiated claims of child sexual abuse against them.

Any files those six priests have in New Ulm are not included in the release because the Diocese of New Ulm is the only one in the state that has refused to release its list of priests credibly acused of molestation. The lists were created during an investigation the Catholic Church was doing related to abusive priests.
