Contradicting Pope Francis, archbishop fights for secrecy
Less than 48 hours after Pope
Francis said “those who have covered up (abuse) are guilty,” the
Philadelphia Inquirer has disclosed that Archbishop Charles Chaput is
quietly working to keep secrets about a pedophile priest. Francis made strong promises,
including that “abuse cannot be kept secret any longer” and “all
responsible will be held accountable." Chaput apparently disagrees. In
a wrongful-death suit in Common Pleas Court,” Chaput's lawyers are
trying to block discovery, the Inquirer reports. The case involves “the
family of Sean McIlmail - a Willow Grove man who died of a drug
overdose in 2013 while struggling to come to terms with his alleged
victimization by a priest."
