Vatican condemns publication of ‘credibly accused’ clergy lists — again
The Vatican weighs in on diocesan lists of accused clergy.
The Dicastery for Legislative Texts issued guidance to bishops last year, which said that canon law prohibits published lists denoting clerics “credibly accused” of sexual abuse crimes.
In a letter likely to spark backlash from some victims’ advocates, the dicastery said that such lists can violate fundamental legal rights when published.
