A judge has given the Archdiocese of Chicago the power to seal portions of documents related to convicted pedophile priest Daniel McCormack.
Attorney William Martin represents the victim in the case against the diocese. He says a Cook County Circuit Court judge granted the archdiocese's request to seal portions of case files that the church deems highly sensitive.
Archdiocesan spokeswoman Colleen Dolan says the order protects the identity of the minors involved.
But Barbara Blaine of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests says the archdiocese could have done that without requesting the order.
Martin says children's names were already confidential.
McCormack pleaded guilty in 2007 to sexually abusing five children and is serving a five-year prison sentence.
