Bishop George Murry, of the Youngstown Catholic Diocese, will be holding a press conference Tuesday where he will likely release a list of priests who have been removed due to sexual abuse.
The diocese said the subject matter of the press conference will be “The Protection of Children and Young People” but would not specify exactly what would be talked about.
In September, Murry said he would release a list of names within the next two months.
He said the diocese won’t stand in the way if any prosecutors in the six-county diocese want to investigate priests who have been credibly accused of sexual abuse.
Murry said some accusers don’t want to prosecute and some of the cases are past the 20-year statute of limitations.
