Only name I recognize is Fr. Lemoine. He had a creepy aura, for sure.

That is a lot of people. The Catholic Church had a major problem. I think the percentage estimated in Spotlight was 6-7% of priest were predators. That may be low.


37 of 1033 = 3.6%



I’m sure there are many more not reported.

And I do suggest for anyone who has not seen it watch Spotlight-about the Boston Diocese. It’s an incredible movie regarding child abuse.

Damn, I saw several names that was at Holy Family in Port Allen.

There was one priest who was at Our Lady of Prompt Succor in White Castle, I went there is middle school, but the priest that was named was there in the 1970s.

Is it an overreaction on my end to think this is completely insane.. The fact that all of these dioceses are releasing list of priest. Not just one or two priest, but a list. I know it ranges over several decades, but it's disturbing.
