The Archdiocese of Baltimore added 42 names Friday to its list of church employees who have been credibly accused of sexual abuse, including that of a longtime theology dean and professor at Xavier University of Louisiana, the nation’s only Catholic historically Black college.

Father Phillip J. Linden began teaching theology at Xavier in 1991, after served as a priest in Baltimore from 1969 through 1986, according to the Archdiocese of Baltimore and his religious order, the Josephites. Linden is accused of abusing a boy in the 1970s when he was a pastor at St. Francis Xavier parish, according to the archdiocese.
