But my question is about the recent list of 21 priests put on leave by the diocese. They aren’t in any of the grand jury reports.

Again, how was the list generated?

Your question was.,..

Is the grand jury’s report available to the public?

And that question was answered by posting both the 2005 and 2011 Grand Jury reports.

There always seems to be "another question" from Roman Catholics apologists whose responses generally go, "yes, but..."

“The abruptness of the removals was perhaps nowhere more evident than at St. Philomena Church in Lansdowne. There, parishioners learned of their pastor’s departure on the same day his Lenten message appeared in the parish bulletin and was posted on its website.

‘Happy Lent!’ the Rev. Paul A. Castellani wrote. ‘Lent is an opportunity for us to stop for a few moments and to think how God has worked in our lives, and continues to do so, even when things do not go as we have planned or expected.’

Castellani did not return phone calls.”

Read the thread. My original question was how the recent list of 21 priests was generated.

I was directed to review the grand jury’s reports (both of them), but neither contained the priests on the list of 21.

It seems the list has come about a result of the assistant DA’s review of the original case documentation, but there is still no explanation of exactly why the specific 21 priests were listed.

I’m not an apologist. I’m a Catholic trying to get these homos and perverts tossed out of MY Church while at the same time preventing Catholic haters (aka - YOU) from using the actions of these perverts as an excuse to destroy my faith.
