CALIFORNIA — The investigative news site ProPublica, a Patch Partner, has compiled the most comprehensive list so far of Catholic clergy "credibly accused" of sexual abuse. The list includes hundreds of alleged abusers from California.

A total of 10 dioceses in California have released lists, with a combined total of 757 names of clergy accused of abuse. ProPublica published the full list of dioceses, each of which includes the names of the alleged abusers.

The accused clergy worked for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the dioceses of San Bernardino, Orange, San Diego, Sacramento, San Jose, Oakland, Stockton, Monterey and Santa Rosa. (Some clergy who worked for multiple dioceses may be listed more than once.)

Meanwhile, several California dioceses have failed to release lists of their own credibly accused clergy, including the the Archdiocese of San Francisco and the Diocese of Fresno.

Along with the list, ProPublica outlines the challenges of identifying offenders long after such widespread abuse became known.
