BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Vermont’s Roman Catholic Diocese is planning to release by the end of the month its long-awaited report on priests who have been accused of sexually abusing children.
Bishop Christopher Coyne, of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington, commissioned the report last October. He says it was hoped the report could have been published earlier but says extra time is needed “to ensure a thorough and accurate accounting of credibly accused priests.”
Activists with the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests are planning a demonstration Monday in front of the diocese’s Burlington offices.
A report released last week by the New Hampshire diocese includes the names of 73 priests dating to 1950.
