The Catholic Church in Washington has released the names of 28 former clergy members that it says were “credibly” accused of sexual abuse since 1948.
A letter released Monday by the Catholic Archdiocese of Washington said the move is “a necessary step towards full transparency and accountability and the process of healing.”
The archdiocese said it created the list on the orders of Cardinal Donald Wuerl, who announced last week he was retiring, following a Pennsylvania grand jury report that said he allowed priests accused of sexual abuse to be reassigned when he was the bishop of Pittsburgh.
