Former Divine Mercy Parochial Vicar Removed From Ministry After ‘Sufficient Evidence of Sexual Abuse of a Minor’

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, JUL 3 – Father Raymond Flores was removed after a diocesan panel found sufficient evidence of minor sexual abuse, marking enforcement of the Diocese of Brooklyn's zero-tolerance policy.

  • On July 3, the Diocese of Brooklyn officially barred Father Raymond Flores from ministerial duties following an independent panel’s finding of credible evidence of sexual abuse of a minor.
  • This action followed prior allegations against the priest concerning inappropriate conduct including a temporary removal in 2014 and a canonical process beginning in January 2020.
  • Separately, Cardinal Blase Cupich announced that Rev. Curtis Lambert faced allegations of sexual abuse from the 1980s and that Lambert denies them while the investigation proceeds.
  • Cupich emphasized that protecting the children under their care remains the highest priority, and the Archdiocese urges any victims to report abuse through a confidential hotline.
  • These events highlight ongoing enforcement of zero-tolerance policies for abuse by clergy and efforts to provide transparency and protection within the Catholic Church.
