The St. Cloud diocese is holding a second listening session for those concerned about sexual abuse allegedly committed by a church deacon in the late 1960's. Monday's session is meant to help answer some of the questions raised at a similar meeting earlier this month.
Catholic dioceses across the country have compiled lists of clergy members suspected of sexual misconduct, but while some of those dioceses have released that information, none of the six dioceses in Minnesota has, according to MPR. Now St. Paul attorney Jeff Anderson is trying to pressure Catholic leaders here to release the names of accused priests.
