We applaud Darryl McArthur for seeking justice against the Chicago archdiocese for its reckless and callous misdeeds with Fr. Daniel McCormack, a credibly accused predator priest who was promoted and kept on the job despite repeated "warning signs."

We hope Darryl's courage will inspire others who were hurt by clerics to step forward. Adults who were molested as kids have nothing to be ashamed about. We understand their fear. We understand why they often want to protect their privacy.

Still, it sends a powerful signal when victims voluntarily choose to reveal their names when they take action against those who commit and conceal hideous crimes against children. We wish more of them would do so.
