The Archdiocese of Mobile says it’ll release a list of clergy removed from the ministry following accusations of child sex abuse.
Those accusations date back to the 1950s.
The Catholic dioceses in Birmingham, Biloxi and Jackson, Mississippi will also release lists of accused clergy.
There’s no word on a timeline.
These local developments come three months after a Pennsylvania grand jury alleged that hundreds of priests molested more than 1,000 children since the 1940s.
At the time, Birmingham Bishop Robert Baker referred to it as “ a gut-wrenching betrayal by those in ordained ministry.”
