Church response: After receiving a complaint about the abuse in 1992, the church made Avery a chaplain at Nazareth Hospital for a decade.

Allegations: He was described in the grand jury report as one of the archdiocese's "most brutal abusers - emotionally as well as physically."

In one case, he is alleged to have repeatedly anally raped a 12-year-old boy after falsely convincing the boy that his mother approved the sex acts.
Posts: St. John the Evangelist, Bucks County; St. Cecilia, Philadelphia.
Church response: After a complaint was filed in 1984, Brzyski admitted to a church official that he was a child molester. He was removed from his duties, but parishioners were told nothing. As a result, he kept visiting the family of one accuser, who says the abuse continued for four more years.
A priest who knew of the abuse told The Inquirer that he was instructed not to tell anyone. "This comes from the highest authority. You're to keep your mouth shut," he was told.
Brzyski left active ministry and took a teaching job in Metuchen, N.J. Later, he moved to Chesapeake, Va., where he remained a priest with restrictions on his ministry. He was arrested in Virginia in 2002 on charges of molesting a teenager, but the charge was dismissed.

Post: Theology teacher at Bishop Eustace Preparatory School, Camden County.
Church response: After Connor's arrest, Bevilacqua accepted his transfer to Pittsburgh, when Bevilacqua headed that diocese, and then to Philadelphia. This was done, the jury said, under a policy of "bishops helping bishops."
Bevilacqua told the pastor supervising Connor in Philadelphia that he had transferred there to be near his sick mother - saying nothing about his sex abuse. At the parish, Connor showered attention and gifts on one boy, the grand jury said.
The jury also said that Bevilacqua's testimony about his knowledge of Connor's sex abuse was "untruthful."

Church response: After the conviction, Bevilacqua advised in the memo that "for the present time, it might to more advisable for [Father DePaoli] to return to the active ministry in another diocese."
This would "put a sufficient period between the publicity and the reinstatement in the active ministry of the archdiocese," Bevilacqua wrote.
The report said a New Jersey diocese then took in DePaoli, just as Bevilacqua had accepted Connor after his conviction.
After his stay in New Jersey, DePaoli returned to a Philadelphia parish. A nun then complained that his behavior there made her worry about the safety of children. She was fired from her position, the jury said.
Status: DePaoli, now 60, was defrocked this year.

Among other offenses, he molested a Catholic high school student in Delaware County after the student came to him for help after being raped by another teacher there.

He arranged for sexual encounters between this girl and an altar boy, asking about their sex later.
Posts:Cardinal O'Hara High School in Delaware County; St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Bucks County; Sacred Heart, Bridgeport.
Church response: In part by providing therapists with inadequate information about Furmanski's conduct, the archdiocese twice cleared the priest of being an abuser, the grand jury said. It also bullied one victim, accusing him of seeking money and telling his wife she might lose her job if her husband persisted with his complaint.
In 2003, in a new round of interrogation by church officials, Furmanski admitted to "fondling boys" and was removed from any church assignments.
Status:Furmanski, now 73, lives under supervision at a church retirement home in Darby.

Posts:He taught at Cardinal O'Hara High School and lived at Nativity B.V.M., both in Delaware County.
