REV. RICHARD LOOMIS

The Office of the Vicar for Clergy of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles
issued the following statement on November 8, 2014:

MONSIGNOR RICHARD LOOMIS ACQUITTED

After ten years of exhaustive investigation and canonical trial, a Tribunal

of the Holy See has definitively determined and ruled that no allegations of
sexual misconduct of any kind alleged against Monsignor Richard Loomis
have been proven. Monsignor Loomis has always professed his innocence
of these accusations.

When the accusations were brought against him starting in late 2003, an
investigation as required by Canon Law was initiated. Monsignor Loomis
was placed on temporary inactive ministry pending the resolution of the
accusations. Now that the allegations against him have been conclusively
resolved, Canon Law provides that the temporary restrictions on
Monsignor Loomis' public exercise of his priesthood have ceased. He
remains a priest of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in good standing.

ADDITIONAL ALLEGATION

The Office of the Vicar for Clergy of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles
issued the following statement on April 28, 2017:

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has received an additional allegation of

possible sexual misconduct by Monsignor Loomis, which is alleged to have
occurred in the mid-1980s. The matter is being investigated. Monsignor
Loomis retired in January 2017 and is currently living privately without
faculties to minister.
