The Archdiocese of Indianapolis on Thursday released the names of more than 20 priests associated with the archdiocese who have at least one “credible” claim of abuse against them, including two priests who the church said each had more than a dozen victims.
The list includes 19 priests for the archdiocese and four who were members of religious orders who served in the archdiocese, dating back to 1940, according to a news release.
“I pray the release of this list of credibly accused clergy will help all survivors of sexual abuse find the strength to come forward and will set them on the path to healing,” Archbishop Charles C. Thompson said in a written statement. “I apologize to all victims for the abuse that was done to them and for the failure of the Church to keep them from harm. I pledge to do everything within my power to protect our youth.”
