Buffalo, New York - In
this hardscrabble Rust Belt city with deep Catholic roots, the Catholic
Church's top official is facing calls for his resignation over his
handling of sexual abuse allegations against priests.
Documents
obtained by CNN suggest Bishop Richard J. Malone did not sanction
priests accused of sexual abuse and concealed the identities of alleged
"predator priests" from the public.
In a preemptive move in March, Malone released a list of 42 priests
in the Buffalo diocese who had left the priesthood after facing
accusations of sexually abusing minors. "The diocese of Buffalo is
committed to correcting the mistakes and sins of the past," he said at
the time.
But a trove of secret diocesan records, first reported by CNN affiliate WKBW and obtained by CNN, show the number of accused priests could be up to 200.
