diocesan

In legal documents, diocesan and police records over the last few decades, more than 300 priests who worked in the archdiocese in Los Angeles have been accused of sexually abusing minors.

“Priests can have a risk assessment which can indicate a level of risk” and “the powers of a diocesan bishop are limited,” says the bishop.

Diocesan clergy did not respond to requests for interviews.

It also said: “Rosenberg was not accused of stealing money from any diocesan entities nor did his crimes relate to any official role held within the diocese.”

In addition to many diocesan assets, the government confiscated the prestigious University of Central America, whose Jesuit leaders had opened the doors to student protestors fleeing police and paramilitary attacks.
