Ordained for the diaconate in 1988. Included on a list of accused priests and religious posted by the Law Offices of Mitchell Garabedian on 1/19/2011. Garabedian said he has settled at least one claim with the Boston Archdiocese regarding allegations against this individual. Papile died 12/25/2009. The Boston archdiocese’s 8/2011 list reported no formal determination of guilt either because Papile died prior to a canonical or criminal investigation or it was not complete at his death.

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
