In a brief exchange two days later with CNS in Washington, he confirmed that the then-not-yet-announced summit in Rome was being called to address the issue of clergy sexual abuse. The steady spread of the scandal beyond the Boston area continued in the first half of April. More bishops removed priests from posts while reassessing past sex abuse allegations against them. More prosecutors began asking dioceses for their records of past allegations. And hun- dreds of individuals came forward with new allegations that they had been sexu- ally abused by a priest as a child. In California, Los Angeles Cardinal Roger M. Mahony was cleared by police of an allegation by a woman with a his- tory of mental illness that the cardinal may have molested her more than 30 years ago when she was in high school in Fresno. The claim about an alleged inci- dent at the school was vague and police said interviews with former staff and stu- dents produced nothing to substantiate it. Donna M. Morrissey (right), spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Boston, faces the media at a press conference in Boston on April 12. Morrissey released Cardinal Mahony denied ever molesting Cardinal Bernard F.
