Texas Catholic leaders to release sex abuse list

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Faith leaders from the Catholic dioceses in Texas have added four more names to the list of clergy who were accused of sexually abusing a minor from 1950 through the end of 2018.



The original list was presented as part of an effort to bring about the restoration of trust, according to the website hosted by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.



The updated list includes John Patrick Barry, C.S.B., Franz B. Lickteig, O.Carm. and William "Herb" Schreiner, C.S.B. who have all been "deceased for decades."



The fourth is notable leader Manuel La Rosa Lopez, who was added to the 2019 list as being under investigation.
