Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up in the Diocese of Wilmington Documents and Other Resources As part of the Non-Monetary Undertakings and Stipulations in the settlement between the Diocese of Wilmington and survivors of clergy sexual abuse, the diocese committed to release documents relating to the sexual abuse of minors by priests in the diocese. Today BishopAccountability.org has begun to post the documents. We start with selected documents from the Clarahan, DeLuca, Dudzinski, and Smit files. Today and into next week, we will post documents from other priest files, and additional documents from files that have already been sampled on this page. We will also provide important documents on the operations of the Diocese of Wilmington. In the spirit of the non-monetary provisions, we are taking a cautious approach to the redaction of survivors' names in the documents. However, if we have redacted a survivor's name in the documents and he or she would prefer to be named, or if redactions need to be improved in other ways, please contact us, and we will make the adjustments. Refresh this page often to see the latest additions.   Rev. Eugene F.

Cini Saltarelli 2003-03-20 FGD 00149 00150 • Document heavily redacted by CDOW. Inclusion of Harry Walker on a 2003 list of abusive priests is notable because CDOW did not include Walker on Saltarelli's 2006 public list. • Moreover, another copy of this memo elsewhere in the released documents is redacted differently, showing that Weaver is also included in the memo but not in Saltarelli's list: • "Here is a case 'out there' and if it pops we are not ready.

Permission was given. That night the first abuse was committed." • Memo telling Saltarelli that Church of the News Journal has been asking about DeLuca and Dempster; Cini surmises which survivors have been talking and reviews the accused priests, dead and alive; if DeLuca and Dempster are exposed, Sarro will supposedly be the only living accused priest not yet covered by the media Cini Saltarelli 2005-10-14 FGD 00145 00146 • "Of the eleven deceased priests, I count three as having something in the newspaper about them in the last ten years – Lind, just recently; Mackiewicz and Carley probably around the time of their deaths....
