The Big Story
Fri. Mar 6, 2020
An investigation by ProPublica and the Houston Chronicle shows the Catholic Church allowed or aided dozens of priests to serve abroad as priests after being credibly accused of abuse in the United States.
ProPublica and the Chronicle analyzed lists published by 52 U.S. dioceses — encompassing the top 30 in terms of the number of credibly accused living clergy and those located in states along the U.S.-Mexico border. Reporters found 51 clergy who after allegations of abuse in the U.S. were able to work as priests or religious brothers in a host of countries, from Ireland to Nigeria to the Philippines. No country was a more common destination than Mexico, where at least 21 credibly accused clergy found refuge.
