The parents of boys who accused a priest of sexual abuse wrote to the
Chicago Archdiocese more than two decades ago: "Your repeatedly asking
'what do we want'? is one more insult. 'What we want' should be totally
obvious. We want something done about these priest's." [sic]
Next week, June 15, marks the 25th anniversary of the Archdiocese of Chicago's announcement of the intent to create a review board to remove priests, such as the one mentioned by the parents. While publicly available files clearly document that church officials knew about the priest's behavior since at least the late 1980s, they did not report him to the authorities or remove him from ministry.
