It was not clear how many of the 115 were priests; Wednesday’s order covered only priests and victims.

Dierker decided the anonymous list was not enough, and ordered that the names must be turned over to the woman’s attorneys, with the exception of the unsubstantiated cases. He also ordered the release of victims’ names.

Dierker’s order includes provisions to ensure that victims are to be contacted by a court-appointed attorney, not directly by the woman’s attorneys.

On Wednesday, the archdiocese said in a statement that it fought the disclosures “to protect the privacy rights of all involved, including victims who had no connection to current litigation and who had come forth confidentially regarding their reported allegation. The requested information includes not only names, but also addresses and phone numbers.”

“We appreciate the concern given this case throughout the appellate process, and although we share the disappointment of the many innocent individuals who will be affected by it, the Archdiocese of St. Louis will comply with the court order entered by the Missouri Supreme Court,” the statement continued.
