Here are snapshots of the cases:
___
REV. DENIS VADEBONCOEUR
Vadeboncoeur, a 69-year-old priest, served a 20-month sentence in Quebec in the 1980s after pleading guilty to sexual abuse and sodomy of four teenage boys.
Afterward, he moved to a small parish in Normandy, France — and was convicted in 2005 of raping an adolescent boy. He was sentenced to 12 years in a French prison, where he is now.
The bishop at the time, Jacques Gaillot, said he tried to give the priest a second chance.
"That was my first mistake," Gaillot told The Associated Press. "Retrospectively I realized that I was wrong to take him in, and I was wrong not to say anything."
A 1987 letter to Gaillot from Vadeboncoeur's Canadian superior, Pierre Levesque, clearly spelled out Vadeboncoeur's sex crimes and concerns that he would abuse again. But Levesque also supported Vadeboncoeur's move to France and said "the hard lesson Vadeboncoeur endured had beneficial effects on him."

REV. FRANCOIS LEFORT
A French priest and humanitarian doctor, Lefort was convicted in 2005 in France of raping and abusing six minors in Senegal in 1994 and 1995. According to his supporters' Web site, he now works in the library in the bishop's office in Puy en Velay.
A witness at his trial said there were similar allegations in Mauritania, where he lived before Senegal.
After the allegations surfaced, Lefort moved back to France and worked in different parishes. Catholic authorities didn't restrict him from working with minors while the investigations were still pending. French observers say such procedure was standard at the time, but has changed in the past two to three years.
___
CARDINAL HANS HERMANN GROER
The now-deceased former cardinal was accused in 1995 by former pupils and monks in his care of sexually molesting minors in the 1970s and 1980s at the Goettweig monastery in Austria.
Groer stepped down as Vienna archbishop soon after the first allegations were publicized and relinquished all his religious duties for the Catholic Church in 1998, at the request of Pope John Paul II.
Upon stepping down, Groer was sent to a monastery in eastern Germany, in the Dresden diocese. He did not commit any known abuses while in Germany.
Groer later returned to Austria, where he died in 2003. He never admitted guilt.

REV. JOSEPH JEYAPAUL
Jeyapaul has been charged in Minnesota with two counts of criminal sexual conduct in connection with his work at a small church in the Crookston diocese in 2004-05. The charges stem from accusations that he groped a 14-year-old girl and forced her to perform oral sex on him.
Jeyapaul returned to India before the charges were filed and continues to work in the diocese of Ootacamund. After initially saying he would not return to the U.S. to face the charges, he and his bishop have since said they would go back if his extradition was requested.

REV. FRANCIS XAVIER NELSON
Nelson was convicted in a New York court in 2003 of fondling a 12-year-old altar girl in the Brooklyn diocese. He was sentenced to four months in prison and has since returned to his church in the diocese of Kottar in southern India, where he works in the bishop's office.
___
REV. VIJAY VHASKR GODUGUNURU
Godugunuru was forced to return to his native India and then transferred to Italy after pleading no contest to assaulting a 15-year-old girl in Bonifay, Fla. He now ministers to a parish in a medieval town of about 4,000 in Tuscany, where he hears confessions, celebrates Mass and works with children.
The bishops supervising him said they were aware of the case but believed he was innocent.
"The evidence that has been given does not support the accusation," Monsignor Rodolfo Cetoloni, the bishop of the Montepulciano diocese, told the AP last week.
Cetoloni said he saw no reason for any restrictions.
Godugunuru was charged with fondling a parishioner in her family's van on June 23, 2006. The priest had been visiting friends and was allowed by the diocese to assist at the Blessed Trinity Catholic Church in Bonifay.
The priest was arrested the next month on charges of lewd or lascivious battery on a minor, subject to up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. The priest denied the accusation but pleaded no contest in a deal that required him to return to India, undergo counseling, not supervise minors for a year and not return to the United States.

REV. MARIO PEZZOTTI
The 75-year-old Pezzotti was accused in abuse cases that date from 1959 at a now-closed Holliston, Mass., boarding school run by his Xaverian religious order.
