Summary of Case: Paul Madden was ordained a priest of the Natchez-Jackson MS diocese in 1970. He assisted at parishes in Ocean Spring, Jackson, Natchez and Meadville, before pastoring in Crystal Springs, Hazelhurst, Forest, Paulding and Meridian. He also did stints at the V.A., at a junior college and at a state hospital. He spent two years in Mexico in the late 1970s, and worked in Peru as a member of the Society of St. James missionary from at least the early 1990s through 2002. Madden was accused in a 2002 lawsuit of having sexually abused a 13-year-old boy in 1973 during a trip the two took two Ireland. Despite acknowledging the abuse, Madden was allowed to stay in ministry. In 2003 the bishop of Peru’s Chimbote diocese accepted Madden as one of his priests.
