TL;DR

A report by the Attorney General of Maryland has accused the Archdiocese of Baltimore of covering up the sexual abuse of more than 600 children for over a half-century. St. Mark Church in Catonsville, Maryland, was home to a dozen priests accused of sexual abuse. The pastor of the church has announced that he will be saying the rosary for their victims. The report named 12 priests who served at St. Mark, and the leaders of the archdiocese knew that problem priests were being moved from parish to parish. The archdiocese did not know these priests were accused of sexual abuse when they were assigned to St. Mark.
