A number of priests accused of sexual misconduct were given
refuge at parishes within the Diocese of Duluth, where they had access
to children and enjoyed the protection of diocesan leaders, according to
long-confidential documents made public Monday.
The
documents, pertaining to four former priests and spanning from the
1950s to 1970s, were released by attorneys representing numerous abuse
victims. The release marks the first time Diocese of Duluth abuse documents have been made public, attorney Mike Finnegan said.http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/crime-and-courts/3884609-duluth-bishops-were-warned-about-sex-abuse-gave-refuge-accused-priests
