ST. LOUIS (MO)
Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests
April 3, 2019
The list published today by the Diocese of Lincoln is a small step forward for transparency on clergy sex crimes in Nebraska. We call on Church officials to take additional steps to keep children in Nebraska safe and to help victims heal.
First, the Diocese should include the names of not only Diocesan priests, but also those of religious order priests, brothers, nuns and lay employees who have been accused of abuse and spent time in Lincoln.
Second, the Diocese should include information about when it first received the allegations against each named person and what actions it took in response to those allegations. Only by knowing what went wrong in the past can we learn how to improve for the future and prevent additional cases of child sexual abuse.
