Archdiocese adds 2,000 docs to public collection · 24 April 08
The Archdiocese of Portland released another 2,000 documents about abusive priests April 15, adding to its online archive of records related to the church’s abuse scandal. In a statement about the release, Most Reverend John Vlazny notes some documents are still being withheld as the Archdiocese continues bankruptcy proceedings. According to a Feb. 12 story in the Oregonian, the church and its abuse victims negotiated the release of records in mediation. A first look at the newly released documents shows the church’s archive is still no simpler to search than it was almost a year ago, when the first abuse-related records were posted online.
