The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle published the names of 77
clergyman and others in church leadership who sexually abused children
over the last century.
Such lists have been published in other dioceses, but usually under legal or social duress. The Seattle archdiocese took this step of its own accord "in the interest of further transparency and accountability," according to a fact sheet.
