The United States has already identified all the priests who have abused children in the last decade

The leaders of the Catholic Church in the United States were identified this Thursday at 286. the priests and other ecclesiastical accusations that allegedly badually abused minors in recent decades.

Fifteen dioceses in the state of Texas, including those in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston, revealed the names of religious who reportedly mistreated children and adolescents, as part of a series of diaries. A campaign that began in August 2018, when a Pennsylvania court made public the cases of 300 priests who allegedly did the same thing, details the EFE agency.

The bishops of the 15 dioceses of Texas have disclosed the identity of pediatric priests, while in California a law firm has introduced new names that they believe have been omitted by church authorities from the city of San Bernardino.

According to the diocese of the state of Texas, all the priests accused have died or were removed from the clergy, or both. Two priests in Houston have recently been the subject of allegations, while another in San Antonio is under investigation.

The bishops of Texas have decided to publicize the names of these priests because it is right and just to offer healing and hope to those who have suffered, said Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, of the Diocese of Galveston-Houston and President of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of the United States.

The dioceses of this state had promised last October to publish this exhaustive list dating from the 1950s. In the main cities of the state: San Antonio, Houston and Dallas, there were respectively 57, 42 and 31 names. Some appear repeated in several lists. On behalf of all those who have not yet done so, I offer my sincere apologies, said DiNardo.

The Church faces months of scandal and revelations of disguised abuse by the global hierarchy, mainly in Australia, Chile and the United States, where a cardinal, Theodore McCarrick, resigned, accused of having badually abused a teenager in the 1970s.
