These are the Houston-area priests 'credibly accused' of sex abuse

HOUSTON – The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston Thursday released a list of priests with "credible accusations" of sexual abuse of a minor.

The archdiocese was among 15 across Texas to release lists as part of an effort "to protect children from sexual abuse" while promoting "healing and a restoration of trust" in the church, calling the list a "major project."

SPECIAL COVERAGE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HERE

There were 42 names on the Galveston-Houston list. Nineteen of those men are deceased.

Father Manuel La Rosa-Lopez is one of the priests on the list. He is charged with four counts of indecency with a child involving sexual contact in Montgomery County. There are at least two victims.

The Jesuits released its list in early December. Five Jesuits with ties to Houston's Strake Jesuit College Preparatory were on the list. One other man with ties to a Houston church was also named.

Here are the names the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston released Thursday:

An allegation of sexual abuse of a minor was made against Father Stephen R Horn, formerly Pastor of Christ the King Church. The allegation stems from Father's alleged interaction with an individual between 1989 and 1993, while he was Pastor at Christ the King. Special panel recommended that Father Horn be withdrawn from ministry pending further proceedings. Horn has also served as associate pastor of St. Mary's Church in Texas City and St. Mary's Church in Galveston. After the accusations surfaced, Horn was sent to Shalom Center on sabbatical. Then the Archdiocese announced to his church he was being removed.
