There is a database of Catholic Priests, Nuns and Deacons in the US who have been publicly accused of sexual abuse and other type of violence against others.
The database is described as providing “…convenient access, for law enforcement and other interested persons, to the names of all U.S. Catholic clergy accused of sexually abusing children and/or possessing child abuse images, commonly referred to as child pornography. Links are provided to the publicly filed court documents and mainstream media articles that are the sources for this database, and a factual summary of the allegations is provided for each accused person.”

There is also a list of Bishops who have been accused of sexual abuse worldwide. The Master List of Accused Bishops can be accessed by clicking here.
Please note, per the website this is stored on, “The Database of Publicly Accused Priests does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty.Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise.Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements.”
