The attorney for the Catholic Diocese of Oakland filed a motion to keep the names and contact information of priests and other staff who may have committed child sexual abuse confidential, 'to avoid the risk of identity theft and harassment.'
But survivors of clergy sexual abuse who were there for the hearing Tuesday, pointed out that Oakland Bishop Michael Barber - despite claims of transparency and concern for victims - has failed to release important information, even on recent cases.
Survivors attorney, Rick Simons, added: "They give lip service to that but when it comes time to actually take actions to be transparent in their words, they're as transparent as a brick wall." Attorneys for the Oakland Diocese declined to comment for this report. The judge did not decide whether to grant their motion for confidentiality, asking both sides to file new briefs on the issue for a hearing next month.
