Of those not arrested, five were listed in a publicly searchable database of accused priests. The letter names 28 clergy members of the archdiocese and three priests who were part of religious orders, or independent communities. One accused priest, Paul Twiddy, whose alleged abuse was first reported in 1965, remained active in ministry on and off for decades. McCarrick is not on the list because he was not a priest in the archdiocese when the abuse he was accused of allegedly occurred. More than 50 of those have in recent years published lists of accused priests, said Terry McKiernan, whose site BishopAccountability.org advocates that such lists be released.
