It is a call for clarity aimed at the Syracuse Catholic Diocese.
A lawyer representing alleged victims of clergy sexual abuse is pushing for the diocese to release all of the names of credibly accused priests.
“The disclosure of this information is vital for the sake of public safety and for the sake of the survivors who need this to begin their healing process,” Mike Reck, attorney with Jeff Anderson and Associates, said.
Reck said the release of names, and where and when the credibly accused priest served in the diocese, would go a long way in helping survivors heal.
“We view this as an opportunity and a call to action for the bishops of each of the diocese to disclose what they knew, when they knew it and make this information available to the public,” Reck said.
Patrick Wall is a victim advocate that works with Reck.
