(Dallas, TX) — The Catholic Church in Texas will soon name names in the child sex abuse scandal.

Early next year, the state’s 15 Catholic dioceses will release the names of clergy who have been “credibly accused” of child sex abuse since 1950.  Texas bishops decided on September 30th to release the names by the end of January.  Fort Worth Bishop Michael Olson says the Fort Worth diocese has already been doing this for the last 11 years, providing the names of the “credibly accused” on their website since 2007.

There are also dioceses in Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Corpus Christi and other cities.
