In San Antonio, Houston and Dallas, major cities of the state, there were respectively 57, 42 and 31 names of religious. Some of them appear repeated on several lists.
The 15 dioceses of Texas had promised last October to publish this exhaustive list dating back to the 1950s. However, recent cases: two priests in Houston and one in San Antonio, which is still the subject of a book. ;investigation.
According to church officials, all the accused priests died or were removed from the clergy.
"The bishops of Texas have decided to disclose the names of these priests at that time 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.
"On behalf of all those who have not yet done so, I apologize most sincerely," DiNardo said.
In California, the law firm Jeff Anderson & Associates introduced new names that would have been omitted by the ecclesiastical authorities of the city of San Bernardino. While the diocese's list mentioned 35 pedophile priests, the office presented its own report, which lists 84 priests.

The report indicates that at least seven of the 84 priests went from San Bernardino to Mexico, including Father Fidencio Silva-Flores, who mistreated Manuel Vega, a retired police officer who is suing the Vatican .
