In March 2016, a report
was released outlining horrific homosexual abuse stretching back over
40 years by more than 50 priests in the diocese of Altoona-Johnstown.
Church Militant reported
that Bp. James Hogan and Bp. Joseph Adamec, Hogan's predecessor, both
"took actions that further endangered children as they placed their
desire to avoid public scandal over the well-being of innocent children"
by returning priests to ministry "with full knowledge they were child
predators."
