Not only did the archbishop of New Orleans, Greg Aymond, fail to list large numbers of priests credibly accused of sexual abuse of minors on his list of clerical abusers; not only did Aymond repeatedly ignore the decisions of his own advisory council re: many credibly accused priests and allow those priests to continue in active ministry: but he also did not monitor many priests accused of sexually abusing minors.

Ramon Antonio Vargas writes,

"After the US’s second-oldest Roman Catholic archdiocese filed for bankruptcy protection in 2020, attorneys for people claiming sexual abuse at the hands of the organization’s clergymen reviewed thousands of records outlining how the church managed the careers of priests and deacons faced with substantial allegations."

"Glaringly missing from those documents is any plan by which the archdiocese of New Orleans could reliably protect children from contact with clerics who had been suspended from public ministry following molestation allegations – but who for years stayed in close proximity to and were financially supported by the church."
