the U.S. will name the 200 pedophile priests for the public!

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21. – The Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the largest Catholic representation in the United States, announced that it will reveal the files of 200 priests accused of pedophilia.

Tamber Tod, spokesman for the archdiocese, said the records give a judge the next December 10, five years after court settlements with victims.

Speaking to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, said that the names will be known by the public agreement reached by the Archdiocese in 2007 and awarded $ 660 million in compensation.

The personnel files of 13 priests were delivered last Friday to attorney Anthony De Marco, who represents a victim abused by Father Nicolás Rivera Eagles.

That case is pending and the records remain confidential under a court order and can’t be made public.

De Marco said the archdiocese, with about five million members, is supposed to provide documents of 12 other priests in the next two weeks.

Joelle Casteix, director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP for its acronym in English), said that the release of documents to the public in December is vital for public safety.

“Some of those priests roam streets without supervision,” he said.

Those individuals have been accused of abusing children and are living in neighborhoods and could be looking younger or volunteer in schools, these documents will be helpful, he said.

De Marco expressed concern at reports that could protect the names of Cardinal Roger Mahony, former archbishop of Los Angeles, and other high officials.

Chicago- Child abuse increased in 2011, says the Catholic Church

Is this to be handled different than the  FBI’s most wanted pedophile Toth, alias “David Busseone?”

A total of 489 people reported credible allegations of abuse by priests or deacons in 2011

CHICAGO, April 10. – The number of credible allegations of sexual abuse of minors by Catholic priests and deacons in the United States increased by 15 percent last year, and the church spent $ 144 million to deal with the scandal, according to a Church-sponsored audit released Tuesday.

A total of 489 people reported credible allegations of abuse by priests or deacons in 2011, most of them adults who as children were victims of clergy now deceased, said the Catholic Bishops Conference of the United States in a report its ninth annual audit on this issue.

Twenty victims were under 19 years and were recently abused. Lawyers for the victims say that there are about tens of thousands more victims who have never revealed since the scandal broke in Boston in 2002.

“We renew our pledge to do our best to end the social evil of child sexual abuse,” said Cardinal Timothy Dolan, chairman of the Conference, in a letter introducing the report.

Critics of the management of the Church in the sexual abuse crisis made fun of the audit, saying it minimizes the extent of abuse and the guilt of the Church hierarchy.

The annual audit of the bishops identified credible allegations against 406 priests or deacons. In 2010, there were 428 complaints against 345 offenders. More than a third of the alleged perpetrators were never charged before.

The numbers of victims and offenders were twice as high in the past decade, then fell in early 2008.

Twelve accused priests remain in active ministry pending the outcome of investigations. Eleven percent of the new charges were considered false.
