Over the weekend Archdiocese of Chicago parishioners received a letter from the man in charge of the Archdiocese, Cardinal Francis George.
In the letter, Chicago Catholics found out that documents about 30 sexually abusive priests will be released this month because of a court proceeding.
Besides the heads up, these Catholics were treated to a new explanation of responsibility in this archdiocese for a priest in this Archdiocese who was arrested in 2005 and 2006 – on Cardinal George’s watch — and who is currently serving a prison term on an abuse conviction. This priest: Daniel McCormack.
Cardinal George, a prince of the Church, starts his explanation about McCormack with a new approach in finger pointing in this largest crisis in the Roman Catholic Church’s history in the past half millennia. He blames dead Cardinal Joseph Bernardin for poor vetting of McCormack before his ordination.
