PRIESTS, NUNS and canon lawyers who
advocate for clergy sex abuse victims urged Pope Francis, on the eve of
his U.S. visit, to investigate the child-protection records of Cardinal
Justin Rigali, the former archbishop of Philadelphia, and Cardinal
Raymond Burke, who led dioceses in Wisconsin and Missouri.
The group, which calls itself the Catholic Whistleblowers, wants an
inquiry of Rigali, who was Philadelphia archbishop from 2003 to 2011 and
retired amid an uproar over grand-jury allegations that he was keeping
about three dozen abuse suspects in ministry. His successor, Archbishop
Charles Chaput, has removed several priests from church work since he
took over.
