Jesuit Priest Confidential Files Reveal Decades of Abuse
The publication of the Rev. Donald McGuire's priest files reveals not only a history of sexual abuse but, more disturbingly, that the Chicago Province of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) had known that McGuire was sexually abusing children since at least 1969. He's been convicted of abuse and up until recently the Catholic Church denied they knew anything about McGuire's criminal behavior. However, the records show a different story. That's why the Catholic Church fights tooth and nail to keep secret these documents. They reveal a history, pattern, and practice of deceit, cover-up, and conspiracy to hide the criminal behavior of abusive priests. The documents, also known as the secret archival files or confidential files, are crucial if the public, especially children are going to be safe from these predatory priests.
