Diocese: Don't show abuse files - Former priest: Ed Stefanich is convicted sex offender By Ted Slowik "Wheaton - The Roman Catholic Diocese of Joliet is once again asking a court to bar the release of documents that could shed light on how church officials responded to allegations of clergy sexual abuse. The diocese is asking a DuPage County judge to issue a protective order that would shield the personnel file of former priest and convicted sex offender Ed Stefanich from public view. Judge Stephen Culliton is expected to rule on the request Aug. 8. The diocese is arguing that failure to obtain a protective order would dissuade other victims of clergy sexual abuse from coming forward, and that the privacy of others would be violated." http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/heraldnews/top/j30diocese.htm
Authorities abetted diocese in hiding sexual-abuse cases - Police, courts let accused priests avoid punishment By Joe Mahr and Mitch Weiss 7/31/05 "Over the past 50 years, those sworn to enforce the law and protect children repeatedly have aided and abetted the diocese in covering up sexual abuse by priests, a three-month investigation by The Blade shows. Beyond past revelations that the diocese quietly moved pedophile priests from parish to parish, The Blade investigation shows that at least once a decade - and often more - priests suspected of rape and molestation have been allowed by local authorities to escape the law." http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?Date=20050731&Category=NEWS08&ArtNo=507310305&SectionCat=NEWS&Template=printart
Disturbing connections emerge - Sexual abuse allegations, cases hint at Spokane's shameful side Bill Morlin 7/31/05 "Three decades ago....Young boys – some from troubled backgrounds and others from prominent families – were being sexually abused by a group of men who were supposed to be role models and authority figures. Growing evidence suggests that people who knew about the abuse did nothing to stop it or report it. Two attorneys who represent several alleged victims from the era believe there was a pedophile ring operating in Spokane. Others blame a culture of secrecy, denial and ignorance for allowing revered, male-dominated institutions like the Catholic Church, the Boy Scouts and the Spokane County Sheriff's Office to ignore abusers in their midst." http://www.spokesmanreview.com/tools/story_pf.asp?ID=82828#glance www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
