Todays Catholic

The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend announced Tuesday, Nov. 6, that Gerald Funcheon, who was a member of the Crosier congregation, not a diocesan priest, is on the list of those credibly accused of abuse of a minor published by the Crosier Fathers. He has been added to the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend list of those credibly accused of at least one act of sexual abuse of a minor because of a credible accusation of abuse that took place while assigned in the diocese.

The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend also announces that it will keep its list of credibly accused priests on the diocesan website and will update the number of credible accusations against those priests if there are any additional credible accusations.
