The Michigan Attorney General today released a fifth report generated by the state’s Clergy Abuse Investigation task force concerning the Catholic Diocese of Grand Rapids. Fifty-one priests were named in the report, along with the church they were affiliated with at the time of at least one of the allegations. The way these priests were moved around the national and international Catholic church checkerboard, I imagine this was hard to put together.
No charges were filed as a result of the report due to statute of limitations, death of the priest, and/or reluctance of survivors to testify.

A report on the Diocese of Saginaw is expected next spring and the final report on the Archdiocese of Detroit is expected before the end of 2026. Number 7 ought to be interesting to cross-reference with names bandied about (but never adequately investigated) in the OCCK case.
Yes, one way or the other, #7 could be very interesting indeed.
