1 ADDENDUM TO THE REPORT TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD On February 17, 2004, the Archdiocese published its Report to the People of God: Clergy Sexual Abuse Archdiocese of Los Angeles The Report was an essential part of the Archdiocese s ongoing effort to promote healing and reconciliation for victims, their families, and the entire Church community, all of whom suffered as a result of sexual abuse by priests, deacons, members of religious orders and others serving our Archdiocese over the years. In detail, the Report explained procedures that the Archdiocese had put in place to safeguard our children by dealing forcefully with abuse. The Report also set out, without attempt to excuse mistakes that were made, the often painful history of how the Archdiocese s understanding of the problem of sexual abuse evolved over the years, from the time when it was treated primarily as a moral weakness and a sin to the adoption, in 2002, of a firm policy of zero tolerance. This Addendum is an update to the Report. It has three sections: The first section provides the most current information about the many educational programs and training sessions the Archdiocese has developed and implemented to safeguard children and how we are dealing with reports of abuse. The second section consists of a list of an additional 26 priests with allegations of sexual abuse against them that have come to our attention since the Appendix to the Report was last updated. For the sake of full disclosure and transparency, the Archdiocese continues to list all priests who have been accused with evidence that if true would constitute child sexual abuse, even when law enforcement or the Clergy Misconduct Oversight Board have found the charges to be unsubstantiated. Finally, the last section of this Addendum discusses the civil lawsuits against the Archdiocese and discloses information from the Clergy Files of the Archdiocese. I. Safeguarding Children and Assisting Victims As noted in the Report, the Archdiocese instituted programs to raise awareness of the issue of sexual abuse, provide counseling and support to victims and involve laypersons in the review of allegations of sexual misconduct by clergy. Since the issuance of the Report, these efforts have continued and expanded. A. Safeguard the Children and Other Safe Environment Efforts Launched in 2002, the Safeguard the Children effort is intended to raise the consciousness of the entire community about issues of child abuse and neglect. The Archdiocese selected the VIRTUS Training Program to implement Safeguard the Children. More than 355 persons from across the Archdiocese have been trained as facilitators for this program. They, in turn, have conducted training sessions for more than 26,000 persons. These participants have included all deacons, priests and bishops in active ministry in the Archdiocese, all school and 1

2 parish personnel as well as all parents and volunteers working with children. As a matter of Archdiocesan policy, effective in 2005, all persons working with or around children are now required to participate in the program. Safeguard the Children committees have been established in more than 90% of the parishes in the Archdiocese since These committees work actively with the VIRTUS Program and involve law enforcement personnel, nurses, counselors and medical professionals among their members to assure that parish efforts are comprehensive. The Office of Family Life and Safeguard the Children, which oversees this program, has just begun to launch a separate training program designed specifically for children and youth that will be implemented throughout the Archdiocese. The Archdiocese has initiated background screening for all personnel and volunteers who will be with or around youth. For persons who will be in a supervisory role with minors, whether as paid staff or volunteers, fingerprinting is a key component of the screening process. The Archdiocese has purchased livescan fingerprinting machines and provides fingerprinting without cost throughout the Archdiocese. Law enforcement agencies also have cooperated in providing access to fingerprinting services. The Office of Human Resources oversees these efforts. Since the launch of this effort in the summer of 2004, more than 5,000 persons have been fingerprinted, including all active clergy. In addition to the VIRTUS Program, representatives of the Victims Assistance Ministry, the Vicar for Women Religious, legal counsel and consultants have been provided special training in policies for maintaining safe environments and for reporting and addressing allegations of abuse to communities of women religious, directors of religious education, parish business administrators and coaches and other school and parish personnel. The Archdiocese continues to implement its policies for reporting incidents of abuse to law enforcement and child protection agencies and has worked cooperatively with the agencies in investigating incidents of abuse. Retired FBI agents who serve as consultants to the Archdiocese have assisted in these efforts. B. Office of Assistance Ministry The Office of Assistance Ministry continues to reach out to victims of sexual misconduct by clergy, employees and volunteers. Since February 2004, the office has been involved in more than 125 matters, only 40 of which concern allegations of abuse by clergy. The other 85 involve allegations against teachers, coaches, volunteers, other personnel and family members. The Archdiocese has made the same commitment to victims of alleged abuse by staff, volunteers and others as it has to victims of abuse by clergy; indeed, much of the office s efforts deal with allegations not involving clergy. The office has worked closely throughout the Archdiocese to find creative and comprehensive solutions to the special needs of victims, including arranging for counseling, temporary shelter, schooling, health insurance, residential treatment, child care, as well as pastoral outreach. Several victims of clergy abuse have become active advisors for the office. Representatives of the office meet regularly in schools and parishes and with other groups 2

3 affected by misconduct to assist in the healing process and to arrange for counseling and other services. Since early 2004, the Office has arranged for eight private prayer and apology services with Cardinal Mahony for victims of clergy misconduct and their families. Cardinal Mahony remains committed to offering similar services to all victims of clergy misconduct within the constraints of the existing civil litigation. C. Clergy Misconduct Oversight Board The Board continues its active involvement in the review of specific cases of sexual misconduct by clergy and also makes recommendations on how the Archdiocese can best meet the needs of victims and on Archdiocese policies and reporting obligations concerning misconduct. Since February 2004, the Board has held 22 meetings and has reviewed 105 cases of reported abuse of minors, most of which involve allegations before 1987 and arose as a part of the current civil litigation. In the fall of 2004, with Cardinal Mahony s participation and as a part of its commitment to adopt best practices, the board established a working group to create the position of an independent investigator to oversee the investigation of any new claims of current misconduct by clergy involving minors. In addition, the Archdiocese has consulting arrangements with five retired FBI agents to assist in investigations and reviews and to work with law enforcement agencies. 3

Civil Litigation At the time it was released, the Report reflected our best understanding regarding the number of priests and religious who sexually abused, or were ever accused of sexually abusing, minors in the Archdiocese, and the number of alleged victims then involved in lawsuits filed against the Archdiocese. There are now more than 560 plaintiffs alleging that the Archdiocese is legally responsible for failing to prevent the abuse they suffered. All of these cases were originally coordinated for mediation and settlement before the Honorable Peter D. Lichtman. Later, they were assigned to Judge Charles McCoy, a highly respected judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court. As part of this mediation and settlement process, the Archdiocese prepared proffers concerning each of the priests (and others) who are alleged to have sexually abused the plaintiffs. The proffers are documents disclosing information from the Clergy Files of the Archdiocese. 5

6 When a proffer was received, the Court compared it to the original files of the Archdiocese to determine that it was complete and accurate. Once this had been confirmed, the proffer was delivered to the lawyers for the plaintiffs. It was the intent of the Archdiocese, at the end of this process, to publish the proffers immediately. This was delayed by a series of court orders obtained by attorneys for some the accused priests. Recently, however, the court ruled that while the Archdiocese could not release the proffers themselves, it could release the underlying information. Accordingly, the Archdiocese s lawyers have prepared the following summaries of information regarding clergy who have been accused of abuse in the current lawsuits subject to the mediation process. Proffers have not been prepared for clergy whose conduct is not at issue in the current litigation and mediation process. As a result, the total number of summaries is smaller than the number of alleged offenders listed in the earlier Appendix and in this updated Addendum to the Report to the People of God. It should be noted that a large number of the claims of abuse go back decades and that many of the priests and witnesses involved are deceased, infirm or incompetent to provide testimony as well as many of the pastors and bishops who supervised the alleged offenders. Releasing the information contained in the proffers or these summaries cannot fully satisfy the interests of all of the parties involved in this litigation. For instance, many of the alleged offenders object to any disclosure of their names or any aspect of the events associated with the allegations until they can be proven in a fair and impartial trial. As noted above, one of the major reasons for publishing this Addendum to the Report is the furtherance of the Archdiocese s commitment to speak honestly and openly with the People of God about the history of the Archdiocese s response to and evolving understanding of this difficult period in the history of the Church. The Report, as initially published, illustrated the Archdiocese s evolving understanding of the problem of the sexual abuse of minors, and its methods of dealing with reports of sexual abuse, by summarizing examples of eleven alleged offenders from different time periods. For our inadequate responses to warning signs about sexually abusive priests, and for our failure to implement sooner sufficient safeguards for the protection of children in our parishes and schools, we humbly beg forgiveness. We reiterate our commitment to ensuring that errors of the past will not be repeated again, and that our parishes and schools will be safe for our children to learn and grow in our common faith. 6
