The Diocese of Brooklyn plans to publish a list of its sexual predator priests.
Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio will post the names of clergy members who have been accused of sexual abuse on the Diocese of Brooklyn’s website, a diocesan official said, calling it an attempt to be more transparent in the wake of the pedophile priest scandal that has rocked the Catholic Church for nearly two decades.
But the diocese has offered no details about its perv priest list and victim advocates say they fear the announcement is more about public relations than protecting children from predators or helping long-suffering sex abuse victims heal.
“We suspect this won’t be a complete list,” said David Clohessy, the national director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP).

“We suspect it will contain only the names of predator priests who have already been outed through civil lawsuits, criminal prosecution, media exposés or admissions by the perpetrators themselves.”
