Jesuits "Cooperate Extensively" With Feds re. Donald McGuire

Soon after Jesuit priest Donald McGuire was charged with molesting minor boys, the Chicago Province of the Jesuits issued a statement saying it has "cooperated extensively" with the federal probe into the convicted Jesuit priest. If that's true, why did the Jesuits state about nine weeks ago that they had no other knowlege of abuse by the priest than the abuse for which he'd been convicted? It turns out from the publication of their own internal documents that the Jesuits DID know about McGuire as far back as 1969. That doesn't seem to be "cooperating extensively" with the federal government. But, maybe the Jesuits had a "mental reservation" about releasing such information. Perhaps, they were more interested in concealing McGuire's history for the "good of the Church" so as not to give scandal. It's a pity they weren't so concerned with the numerous boys McGuire molested after 1969!
