Last month, the Seattle Catholic Archdiocese published
a list of 77 names of priests and other clergy credibly accused of
child sexual abuse while working or living in western Washington. (It
was updated a week later and now contains 78 names.)
As a step toward healing and transparency, it made a significant splash, but perhaps not quite the one the church had hoped. Releasing a list of names is “not a worthless gesture,” says David Clohessy, executive director of the St. Louis-based Survivors’ Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP), but the information is, to him, infuriatingly incomplete.
