Not so sure about that, as of 2010 nearly 60 percent of Chicago's Roman Catholic parishes have had a priest publicly accused of sexually abusing a child according to a report released by three advocacy groups. (Reported by NBC Affiliate in Chicago.)
That link (which takes one to the the website for self-proclaimed abuse attorneys, BTW) says that the abuse allegations cover the timeframe from 1917-2009. So, I don't see where it refutes NKP_vet's assertion that most of those implicated are dead.
What I wonder is at what point does this go from seeking justice to seeking reparations?
This quote jumped right out at me.....
“If you are suffering from the effects of childhood sexual abuse from one of these priests, or any person of authority, please feel free to call us for a free and confidential consultation”. My edit: Makes no difference when it happened, 20 years ago, 40 years ago, or if the priest is dead and can’t defend himself. So please, lawyers working for SNAP, need to make some money in these hard economic times. And the Catholic CHurch has the money. How many priests abused you, 1, 5, 10. Come on now. You know it happened. Come and see us for a free consultation. We can all get rich.
“The report, released Monday by Voice of the Faithful, African American Advocates for Victims of Clergy and Sexual Abuse, and the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP), revealed that that 97 priests have been publicly accused of sexual abuse in Chicago from 1917 to 2009”
SNAP, leftist, anti-Catholic, ambulance chasing lawyers. Follow the money. Notice the key word is “accused”.
