Diocese of Providence Admits that Priest Abusers Are Double the Number They Revealed

In court paper filed in connection with a survivor's lawsuit, the Diocese of Providence has revealed that the number of abusive priest in that diocese is double the number they stated in 2004. The previous number of priest abusers was said to be 56. Now that number has been raised to 125. In spite of this astounding revelation, the Diocese is still trying to fight the release of church documents. For those of us in the trenches, this is not something new or surprising. As I stated in a previous post, the release of church documents is the only way to bring the abusers and the church who hid them into the light of day and into the halls of justice.
