MONTANA
Daily Inter Lake
As part of a legal settlement, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Helena posted a list Wednesday of all priests and other diocese workers who have been accused of sexual abuse at some time in the past.
The Inter Lake has studied the list to locate personnel who were assigned to Northwest Montana parishes, and provides the information below.
The diocese has agreed to post the full list on its website home page for at least 10 years, with the names and assignments of alleged perpetrators who are identified in the complaints filed in the Whalen and Does cases as child sexual abusers between the 1930s and 1970s.
The diocese said it is also listing priests against whom accusations of sexual abuse of minors have been made only to the diocese.
An introductory note on the list declares, “The Diocese hopes that this step helps to provide a pathway to healing for those who have been abused and brings light into a dark and difficult chapter in our diocesan Church.”
