The Bishop DiMarzio list of sexually abusive priests in his Diocese covering Brooklyn and Queens is too long and too short at the same time.<br /><br />Bishop DiMarzio's list of 108 sexually abusive priest startled many, who had expected a far smaller number to appear on the next list to come from the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese covering Brooklyn and Queens. However, the latest list supposedly covers the whole history of sexual abuse by priests in the Diocese of Brooklyn. For example, The earliest clergy member included on the list was a Monsignor John Cross, who had been ordained in 1916, and and nearly two-thirds of the most recently named priests have died. Nonetheless, critics have pointed out that the current list is still not complete.<br /><br />Almost two years ago, the Diocese of Brooklyn named only eight former priests who had been defrocked for child sexual abuse offenses. All eight of those priests are also included on this more recent disclosure. It needs to be noted though, that in addition to the 108 priests and monsignors named by Bishop DiMarzio on Friday, victims' advocates have indicated that they are aware of dozens of additional priests in Brooklyn and Queens who have been accused as abusers and whose case investigations are not yet complete. <br /><br />According to one advocate in a Catholic clergy- and religious-based group called "Whistleblowers," who happens to be a Dominican nun in Brooklyn, "There are some missing names on this list that have me wondering. I think some people are still being protected."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-19588721546933840932019-02-17T17:34:20.351-05:002019-02-17T17:34:20.351-05:00No, apparently it is a different Haggerty.No, apparently it is a different Haggerty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-81088852488889495972019-02-17T15:50:17.180-05:002019-02-17T15:50:17.180-05:00Is the Thomas Haggerty from Saint Savior's par...Is the Thomas Haggerty from Saint Savior's parish listed in the Brooklyn diocese collection of priests who abused minors the uncle of the guy who works for Ulrich?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
