Catholic officials in Illinois had only publicly identified 185 clergy, with credible allegations hurled against them. But upon follow up investigations of the attorney general’s office, they found 500 more names. The report found that in many cases, the dioceses did not conduct proper investigations into allegations -- particularly when the priest had died, left the ministry, or was a member of a religious order, and therefore not under the authority of a diocese.
