Full text: Message from Archbishop Gomez regarding update to list of accused priests
2018 Update to “The Report to the People of God”
Most Reverend José H. Gomez, Archbishop of Los Angeles
December 6, 2018
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today we are releasing the names of priests who have been credibly accused of sexual abuse or misconduct involving a minor since 2008.
This list brings up-to-date “The Report to the People of God.” First published in 2004 and updated in 2005 and 2008, the report documents more than 70 years of allegations of abuse against priests in the Archdiocese.
This was a sad and shameful chapter in our history. But it was also a time of reform.
