Records combed in abuse cases

BOSTON -- Cardinal Bernard Law said Friday records that have already led to allegations of child sex abuse against 80 priests would be "combed and combed" in upholding the Boston Archdiocese's promise to uncover past accusations.

Speaking at Logan Airport after returning from the Vatican, Law said he was saddened that some priests who should have previously removed have remained active. There are 930 priests in the archdiocese.

The number of priests accused grew Friday from 60 to 80 after church officials submitted names to county prosecutors.
