There is growing pressure on the Diocese of New Ulm to release a list of priests who are “credibly” accused of sexually abusing minors.
On Wednesday, attorneys called again for that list to be made public. A lawsuit has already been filed asking for the diocese to release the list.
The attorneys also asked the Diocese of Duluth to release more documents relating to the 17 priests there, who are accused of sexual abuse.
Meanwhile, a Ramsey County judge ruled Tuesday that key leaders in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis will have to answer for their alleged actions for the first time ever, according to KSTP reporter Beth McDonough.
Archbishop John Nienstedt and the Rev. Kevin McDonough will have to go on the record and talk with investigators about how the church handled sex abuse allegations made against priests in local parishes.
