Jesuits West

Arnold L. Custer

Status: Deceased

Appeared under the heading: “LIST FIVE: JESUITS LISTED IN DIOCESAN BANKRUPTCIES OR LISTINGS Many Catholic Dioceses have previously published lists of accused clergy. In many instances, Jesuits West was not informed of the claims nor did it have the opportunity to conduct an independent review. In the bankruptcy proceedings of the former Oregon Province, for example, the names of all clergy against whom a claim had been filed were published. Those claims were not independently investigated or verified. Consequently, Jesuits West now re-publishes those lists of names already in the public domain.
