Victims of clergy sexual abuse and their attorney slammed Cardinal Sean O'Malley of the Boston Archdiocese today (August 26, 2011) for omitting the names of their abusers from a new list of 159 priests and deacons publicly accused of molestation, according to the Boston Herald website.
Attorney Mitchell Garabedian -- who served as the lawyer for scores of victims -- called the list released yesterday on bostoncatholic.org an "inadequate attempt to satisfy a moral imperative" because it doesn't include the names of 91 priests who are now dead or who were members of a religious order.
Leaders of BishopAccountability.org -- an organization that tracks accused priests and posts court records from clergy abuse lawsuits online -- said: "There are many victims of Boston priests who will not find the names of their perpetrators on yesterday's list. Their misery and isolation will be deepened by yesterday's disclosure."
