Lawsuit demands U.S. Catholic church name sex abusers

The lawsuit was filed in Wisconsin's St. Croix County, where a judge last year ruled Dan O'Connell was murdered by Rev. Ryan Erickson. The civil suit calls for the disclosure of the names of all accused clergy in the U.S. church but seeks no monetary damages. 

A St. Croix county judge ruled last October that Erickson, a 31-year-old parish priest in Hudson, Wisconsin, likely murdered funeral director O'Connell and his intern James Ellison out of fear that O'Connell was about to expose his past sexual abuse. Erickson hanged himself after being questioned by police.
