BATON ROUGE, La. — The Diocese of Baton Rouge released the names of 37 clergy who have credible accusations of sexual abuse of a minors or vulnerable adults
Bishop Michael Duca released the names at a press conference Thursday at the Catholic Life Center in Baton Rouge. According to Duca, the list is based on the review of all 1,033 clergy files on the Diocese of Baton Rouge from its formation in 1961 to the present.
"As I said in my Sunday letter, the fact that this wound will not heal tells us that we must continue to bring everything into the light. This is not easy. I have listened to some victims share their stories, and there are no words to express the depth of sadness and shame that was experienced in our Church and is part of OUR diocesan history. It is hard to lay this list out for all to see, but real renewal and healing cannot take place until we acknowledge the truth of our past," Bishop Duca said in part.
If you or someone you know has been abused by clergy you are encouraged to call the Victim Assistance Coordinator of the Diocese of Baton Rouge, Mrs. Amy Cordon, by calling the telephone hotline at (225) 242-0250.
