On Sept. 12, 2017, the Catholic Archdiocese of Santa Fe released, on its own accord, the names of 74 clergymen identified as credibly accused of sexually assaulting children. At the time, Archbishop John Wester stated the decision for releasing the list stemmed from a desire to rebuilt trust and heal wounds.

A lawsuit filed in Santa Fe District Court in March alleges at least one name was wrongly included. Another lawsuit filed Thursday claims the list is missing 46 priests.
