Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis plans to release names of accused priests Thursday | Star Tribune

Well, obviously this will only be priests and will not include ALL of the accused in religious life like brothers/monks especially those at St John's Abbey. I also wonder WHEN these 'accused' were removed from 'ministry as many of the accused at St John's Abbey were still teaching, etc after they were accused or some were simply moved....I am sorry to say that I need proof of this removal for those still living. There has been a precedent of simply moving them around. I also would like to know when and if those deceased were removed from 'ministry' after the credible accusations....
   If there was 'treatment', I want to know what facility and who owns the facility....46 priests in one state, even over decades, suggests a  subculture of protection of these abusers...not a dealing with the problem!

ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis says it plans Thursday to release the names of priests credibly accused of sexually abusing minors.
The archdiocese says the names will be posted on a new page of the archdiocese's website and in its newspaper, The Catholic Spirit.
A Ramsey County judge ruled Monday that the archdiocese has until Dec. 17 to disclose its list of 33 credibly accused priests. The Diocese of Winona also has until then to disclose its list of 13 priests.
In a statement, the archdiocese ways it will include the priest's name, year of birth, age, year of ordination, and where the priest now lives. The archdiocese says all of the men who will be identified have been permanently removed from ministry or are dead.
