YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRhode Island’s state attorney general has released a report documenting decades of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church's Diocese of Providence.
The report documents a familiar pattern: Priests accused of abuse shuffled from parish to parish by local bishops. According to the report, compiled from church records dating back to 1950, the diocese transferred 31 priests to new jobs at least five times each. The report named 20 priests not previously included in the diocese’s list of credibly accused priests. Three new cases, still within the statute of limitations, are now being prosecuted.
In response, the Bishop of Providence said the diocese adopted new safeguards decades ago and insisted there are no credibly accused clergy in active ministry.
