	Prosecutor Says Accused Priests Should Leave Retreat House ABC 7 April 1, 2006 http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=local&id=4044268 April 1, 2006 (MUNDELEIN, Ill.) - Lake County State's Attorney Michael Waller says more than a dozen Roman Catholic priests accused of sexual misconduct with minors no longer should live on a Mundelein seminary's property across from a high school. Waller's complaint comes in the wake of a report criticizing the church for poor monitoring of the priests living at a University of St. Mary of the Lake retreat house. The report was commissioned by the Archdiocese of Chicago, and archdiocesan spokesman Jim Dwyer says moving the priests out of the retreat house is not improbable. Twelve priests accused of sexual improprieties under church law reside at the retreat house, which is near Carmel Catholic High School and residential neighborhoods. Another priest at the house, 67-year-old Ralph Strand, is a registered sex offender who was convicted under criminal law. (Copyright 2006 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
