  • List of Priests and Brothers Accused of Child Sexual Abuse
    1 List of Priests and Brothers Accused of Child Sexual Abuse [Last updated April 16, 2019; downloaded June 29, 2019 from https://www.archbalt.org/child-and-youth-protection/priests-and-brothers-accused-of- abuse/] In September 2002, the Archdiocese of Baltimore published a list of priests and religious brothers who had served in the Archdiocese of Baltimore and who had been accused, in their lifetime, of child sexual abuse. The 2002 list did not include some instances where an investigation concluded that the facts did not indicate sexual abuse had occurred. The 57 men on that original publication are listed below, with some minor updates to those paragraphs since 2002 noted [in italics] where a request for an update has been made. Since 2002, additional priests and brothers have been added to this list because of an allegation of child sexual abuse or because they were identified publicly in connection with such an allegation, when the priest had an assignment in public ministry in the Archdiocese of Baltimore or the abuse occurred in Baltimore. In instances involving priests from religious orders or other dioceses (noted in parentheses), the Archdiocese’s information is often quite limited. In some cases, the information below came from the 2018 Grand Jury Report of the Pennsylvania Attorney General or publications made by religious orders or other sources, and additional information for such individuals might be obtained by looking at available resources on the internet. The entries below list known, formal assignments in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Many of the priests and brothers listed also served at additional locations on an informal basis, and at times outside of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

  • Frequently Asked Questions Based on “
    Frequently Asked Questions Based on “The Keepers” “The Keepers” Fact Check -Infographic About the Archdiocese’s Efforts to Protect Children and Promote Healing for Victims of Abuse What does the Archdiocese do to protect children? The Archdiocese of Baltimore is fully committed to the protection of children and young people. To provide a safe environment for those entrusted to its care, the Church immediately reports to civil authorities all allegations of abuse; employs a zero tolerance policy for employees and volunteers credibly accused of committing abuse; conducts thorough screening and background checks of all employees and volunteers having substantial contact with children; provides ongoing education in detecting and reporting suspected child abuse for its employees, volunteers, as well as children themselves; has an independent review board of mostly-lay professionals that reviews the Church’s handling of abuse cases and advises on related matters; and cooperates with civil authorities. How does the Archdiocese help those abused as children by representatives of the Church? The Archdiocese immediately reports all allegations to civil authorities and offers counseling assistance to promote healing. For the past 10 years, the Archdiocese has had an active mediation program for survivors with decades-old claims of abuse. Although the Church has no legal obligation to offer settlements on timebarred claims, the Archdiocese seeks to help those abused by representatives of the Church. The mediation program takes place in a non-adversarial setting, in which the Church offers an apology for the abuse and an opportunity to meet personally with the Archbishop. The mediation takes place before a retired, nonCatholic, Circuit Court judge, who assists the parties agree on an amount of cash and often continued counseling assistance to be provided by the Archdiocese to the victim.

  • Appendix A: Memory Myths and Realities
    Appendix A: Memory Myths and Realities Myth 1. You must identify the root cause of your unhappiness from the past in order to heal and be happy in the present. Reality 1. It is unfortunately the normal human lot to be frustrated and unhappy at various points in your life. There is no magic pill to make you happy, and your attitude in the present is much more the issue than anything that happened to you in the past. Myth 2. Checklists of “symptoms” are reliable tools to identify disorders. Reality 2. Beware of symptom checklists, particularly if they apply to nearly everyone in the general population. At one time or another, most people experience depres- sion, troubled relationships, ambivalence toward family members, and low self- esteem. These are not necessarily “symptoms” of anything other than the human condition. Myth 3. You can trust any therapist who seems compassionate, warm, wise, and caring. You do not need to ask about credentials, experience, training, philosophy, treat- ment approach, or techniques. Reality 3. Just because a therapist is warm and caring does not mean that he or she is com- petent or can help you. Training, philosophy, and treatment modalities are extremely important. Therapists who dwell unceasingly on your past are unlikely to help you cope with your present-day problems. Therapy should challenge you to change your way of thinking about and dealing with the present-day conflicts that sent you to therapy in the first place. © The Author(s) 2017 421 M.

    IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF MARYLAND No. 102 September Term, 1995 ___________________________________ JANE DOE, ET AL. v. A. JOSEPH MASKELL, ET AL. ___________________________________ Murphy, C.J. Eldridge Rodowsky Chasanow Karwacki Bell Raker JJ. ___________________________________ Opinion by Karwacki, J. ___________________________________ Filed: July 29, 1996 In this case we are asked to decide whether the "discovery rule" applicable to the time-bar of the statute of limitations on civil actions at law found in Maryland Code (1974, 1995 Repl. Vol.), § 5-101 of the Courts & Judicial Proceedings Article,1 applies to cases of allegedly "repressed" and "recovered" memories. We hold that repression of memories is an insufficient trigger to compel the application of our discovery rule, and we shall affirm the summary judgment entered in favor of the defendants. I Reviewing the record in a light most favorable to the plaintiffs, the facts of the case are as follows: Jane Doe, from 1967 to 1971, and Jane Roe, from 1968 to 1972, were students at Seton Keough High School [hereinafter "Keough"], a parochial school in Baltimore City. During their tenure at Keough, both girls, individually were referred for counseling to the school chaplain, Father A. Joseph Maskell. According to the complaints filed in the cases, Maskell subjected the girls to repeated sexual, physical, and psychological abuse including: 1 Hereinafter, unless otherwise indicated, all statutory references are to Md. Code (1974, 1995 Repl. Vol.) of the Courts & Judicial Proceedings Article. -2- "vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse, cunnilingus, fellatio, vaginal penetration with a vibrator, administration of enemas, . hypnosis, threats of physical violence, coerced prostitution and other lewd acts, physically striking Plaintiff, and forcing Plaintiff to perform sexual acts with a police officer."2 Both girls were allegedly threatened with extreme punishments if they informed anyone of the abuse, which continued until the girls graduated and left Keough in 1971 and 1972 respectively.
