The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend released the names of 18 priests who had been “credibly accused” of sexual abuse of a minor Tuesday.Of these 18 priests, at least four have some past affiliation with the tri-campus community: Edward Krason, Paul LeBrun, Cornelius Ryan and James Trepanier. Three of the affiliated priests were are members of the Congregation of the Holy Cross (CSC). University vice president for public affairs and communications Paul Browne said none of the priests were the subject of complaints while at the University and that they were not employed by Notre Dame.Krason pursued continuing education at Notre Dame in 1979.Ryan was housed in Our Lady of Fatima House in Notre Dame. The place was formerly used as a retreat house before being converted into a residence for Holy Cross priests.“He resided there after it was no longer used for retreats and served as a priest residence, and before allegations against him surfaced,” Browne said.Lebrun was a CSC seminarian at the University, ordained in 1983, according to reports from WNDU and the South Bend Tribune. Lebrun also worked at St. Therese, Little Flower Parish in South Bend.“The accusations and charges against LeBrun are well known, and he is serving a 111-year prison sentence,” Browne said.Trepanier, another CSC priest, worked at Saint Mary’s Convent in 1994.“Trepanier assisted at St. Mary’s convent, where he had no contact with minors. He is 89 years old, confined to a wheelchair and has no contact with minors to this day,” Browne said.Browne said the CSC took reports of abuse at the hands of Holy Cross priests seriously.“When Holy Cross superiors learned of complaints against the three priests, they removed them from their duties,” he said. “Where crimes were involved, the order reported them to the authorities.”A number of priests named also served at schools and parishes where Notre Dame students regularly volunteer or attend services including St. Adalbert Parish; Holy Family Parish; St. Therese, Little Flower Parish; Marian High School and St. Monica Parish.Detailed information about each of the 18 priests named can be found in the list can be found in this report.

SDCC Announcement The Walking Dead Comic Is Coming To An End
What would life be without The Walking Dead? Fans of the long time series have welcomed these zombies and survivors into their home without hesitation, but haven’t we always questioned when it would end? The AV Club reports that Robert Kirkman has decided that after 14 years of The Walking Dead, it’s time to put the zombie apocalypse into its final resting place.The Walking Dead comics have graced us with its hard hitting narratives about survival and what happens to the world that claims your moral, values and reasoning while trying not to get bitten. Rick, his son Carl and an ensemble of survivors have to survive this world, or else. The Walking Dead‘s has gained a total of 169 issues and its creator, Robert Kirkman talked at a San Diego Comic-Con panel about finally putting it to rest.“I think about two or three years ago, I had a pretty good idea for a definitive ending. I have known that since then and been working towards that, so I know exactly where I’m going and what’s going to happen when I get there.” – Kirkman Kirkman also felt he could have ended the series a lot sooner than expected because of “… all kinds of cool stuff…” he wanted to put into the series. The need to top himself was getting a bit too overwhelming.The ending of the comic is to remain top secret until finished, so there’s no date for when it will be out, but it’s almost sad to see the comic go. It has been a significant part of our comic lives for awhile, and we’ll miss it.There’s no telling how the ending of the comic will effect that current AMC series with the same title, starring Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Lauren Cohan, Melissa McBride, Danai Gurira and more. The Walking Dead is one of the highest rated shows on the network, so I’m sure they’ll find a way to stir up storylines so that The Walking Dead stays on the air for as long as the comics.Let us know what you like about Geek by taking our survey.
