In the midst of a resurgence in investigations of Roman Catholic Church abuse, the Northeast Province of the Society of Jesus released a list naming 50 Jesuits the order said had been the subjects of credible allegations of child sex abuse since the 1950s.
Leaders of the society released on Jan. 15 the list naming clergy from the New York and New England provinces. From that list, only 15 men are still alive. Many of the accused Jesuits had worked in prominent high schools or colleges as external ministers or served at parishes. The latest reported incident of abuse against a minor took place in 2008, according to the list.
