Tackle archdiocese in next investigation

Headlines are filled with corruption after corruption incidents in our state. Will it ever end? I subscribe not until the citizens of this great state say "Enough!"

The recent decision allowing records to be sealed in yet another tragic case related to convicted pedophile and defrocked priest Daniel McCormack is evidence of the continued insensitivity of our Cardinal and his staff. The majority have retained positions or been promoted and this case did not demand sealed depositions - unless there is more to hide.

I am incredibly disappointed in this decision as it shields us again from corruption in this Archdiocese.

It was only a year ago that Cardinal George was exposed in a deposition that not only displayed his management and leadership culpability but it demonstrated a total lack of pastoral sensitivity.

The Cardinal's spokesperson says the identity of minors is being protected. When did any Archdiocese ever put the protection of children before protecting the administrative offenders? There is protection all right but it isn't the children being protected.

We are surrounded by corruption. We have nailed our past and current governors. Isn't it time to move our sights to the Archdiocese of Chicago? Where is Patrick Fitzgerald when we desperately need him?
