	Groups Ask Archdiocese Not to Seal Abuse Documents Associated Press, carried in Chicago Tribune January 27, 2009 http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ap-il-priestabuse,0,5228044.story CHICAGO - Five Illinois groups that advocate for victims of sexual abuse by priests are asking the Archdiocese of Chicago to stop efforts to seal documents related to a convicted pedophile priest. The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, along with other groups, sent a letter Tuesday to Cardinal Francis George. A hearing on the protective order sought by the Archdiocese is scheduled for Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court. The archdiocese said in a statement Tuesday that it requested the protective order "to help protect the privacy of third parties involved in the litigation." The groups also asked that George promise not to aid former priest Daniel McCormack when he is eligible for parole in September.
