Respect Life
Life is always a good. Why is life a good? This question is found everywhere in the Bible, and from the very first pages it receives a powerful and amazing answer. The life which God gives man is quite different from the life of all other living creatures, inasmuch as man, although formed from the dust of the earth (cf. Gen 2:7, 3:19; Job 34:15; Ps 103:14; 104:29), is a manifestation of God in the world, a sign of his presence, a trace of his glory (cf. Gen 1:26-27; Ps 8:6). This is what Saint Irenaeus of Lyons wanted to emphasize in his celebrated definition: Man, living man, is the glory of God. Man has been given a sublime dignity, based on the intimate bond which unites him to his Creator: in man there shines forth a reflection of God himself.

From the Pastors Desk

Last weekend we celebrated the Baptism of the Lord which concluded the Christmas season. I hope you all had a nice Christmas. On behalf of Fr. Joe, Fr. Marcin and myself, I want to thank you all for your kindness and all the Christmas greetings, cards, and gifts. We also thank you also for your generosity toward our parish. Our Christmas collection this year was $41, 853. Thank you for your love and care for our church. At this time each year, Bishop Kane sends a letter to each parish advising of the goal for the upcoming Annual Catholic Appeal. Since our parish is engaged in the To Teach Who Christ Is Campaign as this time, participation of the Annual Catholic Appeal is waived for 2014. All parishioners who have not made a pledge to the To Teach Who Christ Is Campaign will receive the normal ACA letter from the Cardinal. This is a perfect opportunity for us to emphasize the importance of the Campaign and to do the follow-up giving those, who didnt make pledges, a chance. We will also send the information packets to those who didnt respond yet so we can update our parish records. We remind those who are making their payments to the campaign that they should make and send the payments directly to the Archdiocese in provided envelopes and make all the checks payable to The To Teach Who Christ Is Campaign. If there is any difference between the amount pledged or given, and the statement received from the Archdiocese, please contact them directly, or contact us so we can help you. Please continue praying for the success of the Campaign and the renovation of our church. As you noticed, we are still having water problems, especially in the new gathering spaces. This week we are meeting with the head of the construction department of the Archdiocese of Chicago who is going to present a plan regarding our new roof project. I want to thank Mr. Robert Barthel and his family for donating the new poor boxes in memory of his wife, Eileen Barthel. The boxes were installed by the side exits of the church near the main altar. can and should be judged.

The Cardinals Column

Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, This January, as was announced a month ago in a press conference by a plaintiffs lawyer, documents relating to the sexual misconduct of 30 priests of the archdiocese will be released as part of settlement agreements over the past years. All these incidents were reported over the years to the civil authorities and claims have been mediated civilly. Almost all of the incidents happened decades ago, perpetrated by priests whom neither I nor many younger clergy have ever met or talked to, because the priests were either dead or out of ministry before I came to Chicago as archbishop. Nevertheless, the publication puts the actions of these men and the archdiocese itself in the spotlight. Painful though publicly reviewing the past can be, it is part of the accountability and transparency to which the archdiocese is committed. For more than 20 years, the archdiocese has reported all allegations of sexual abuse to the civil authorities and to DCFS. Records of priests have been shared with civil authorities when asked for. Accountability to the civil authorities constitutionally responsible for the protection of children is part of the life of the church here. The names of priests known to have abused a minor are published on the archdiocesan website (www.archchicago.org), and the archdiocese will offer more information in the future. But publishing for all to read the actual records of these crimes raises transparency to a new level. It will be helpful, we pray, for some, but painful for many. Pope Francis has spoken several times in recent months about clericalism as a vice. Clericalism appears when a person or group decides it is not accountable for its actions. Clericalism in the clergy is evident when a priest decides he is not accountable to his bishop or to the faithful for what he teaches or how he celebrates the churchs liturgy or pastors the churchs people or when a bishop, in turn, is not accountable to his councils and his clergy for his own ministry. Clericalism is spiritually deadly when a priest decides he is not accountable even to God and breaks his promise of chaste celibacy as well as the commandments of the Lord himself. The general discipline of the clergy weakened during the years when sex abuse was most prevalent, during the 1970s and 1980s. Chicago followed the now well-known national trends. In the late 80s, however, the archdiocese began to put its house in some order and started, sometimes hesitantly, to follow the path of accountability and transparency. Through the 90s, archdiocesan policy still allowed some perpetrators a restricted form of ministry, with monitoring, that kept them from regular contact with minors. In 2002, the National Bishops Conference decided that zero tolerance was the only certain means to be sure children would not be molested, and I removed from all public ministry those who had been allowed some pastoral work under the rules in effect under my predecessor. Others have been removed as accusations came forward. So far as can be known from all our records, there is no priest in public ministry in the Archdiocese of Chicago who has been found to have sexually abused a child, no matter when the abuse took place. A more recent episode that has created distrust and injured the archdiocesan community is that of Daniel McCormack. The public story, up to this point, has been largely fashioned by plaintiffs lawyers and other activists and deliberately distorts or ignores points that would mitigate the charge of archdiocesan neglect. For the sake of complete transparency, as well as accountability, I want to put on the public record the following facts: 1) Neither in Chicago nor in any previous posting as a bishop or a religious superior have I assigned to pastoral ministry or transferred for ministry a priest whom I knew to have sexually abused a child.

2) When I came to Chicago as archbishop, Father Daniel McCormack had a reputation as a dedicated priest and an effective pastor. He had been ordained by Cardinal Bernardin, who vetted his seminary record. He was already, before I became archbishop, appointed to a seminary faculty, a position of trust. He had been elected by his peers to represent them on the priests placement board, a sign of confidence in his judgment by those who knew him best. Just months before his first arrest, he was recommended by those who worked with him in reorganizing the parishes on the West Side to serve as dean for that area. He was dedicated to ministry in African-American parishes in poor neighborhoods. He was trusted and admired. 3) The first association of his name with the possible sexual abuse of a minor was made for me in September 2005, when I was told that the police had arrested him, questioned him about the allegation and then released him without charges. He was put under monitoring and his ministry with children restricted while the archdiocese began to investigate whether there was reasonable cause to suspect that he had sexually abused a child. The investigation was hampered because the various offices involved did not consistently share what they knew with each other or with me. Nor did the civil authorities share with the archdiocese what they came to know in their investigations. From the time he was arrested and released to the time that he was arrested a second time and eventually pled guilty, no one involved in investigating the allegation, not even the review board that struggled with their justified concerns, told me they thought he was guilty. 4) After McCormacks second arrest in January 2006, a number of incidents came forward that might have served as warning signals along the way, if people had been more wary. Each of them, when the record is fairly presented, was examined and responded to by the authorities concerned. The response, in retrospect, was not always adequate to all the facts, but a mistake is not a cover up. This is not a story that fits the template that has been used to report sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, which is why its difficult to set the record straight. Nor is the record, even when set straight, one that any of us can easily put together with what we expect the church to be. Telling the truth does not create an excuse for failure. But it makes a difference, as we go forward, to know in what the failure consists, to know that the truth has been told and that the church is committed to accountability and transparency. Most of all, this archdiocese is committed to trying to help victims of sexual abuse achieve the freedom necessary to live with dignity. The Archdiocesan Office for the Protection of Children and Youth is a ministry that brings hope and freedom to many victims. It is responsible for the extensive system of background checks and training in child protection that every employee and volunteer in the archdiocese must undergo. Its story should be better known, again for the sake of accountability and transparency. Monetary recompense is part of helping victims and making reparation to them. The funding of sexual abuse settlements comes from a stream of revenue entirely separate from regular donations or investments. Over the years, the archdiocese has bought a great deal of property for possible institutional expansion. Sale of some of that undeveloped property is the source of the revenues for funding sexual abuse settlements. It has not been and would not be used for normal archdiocesan operating expenses. Finally, all our actions are transparent to the Lord, to whom each of us is accountable. He is a merciful judge, and I ask you to commend to him in your prayers the victims, the perpetrators and the archdiocese at this time in our history. Once again, I apologize to all those who have been harmed by these crimes and this scandal, the victims themselves, most certainly, but also rank and file Catholics who have been shamed by the actions of some priests and bishops. Thank you and God bless you.

Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I. Archbishop of Chicago

List Kardynaa Franciszka George

Drodzy Bracia i Siostry w Chrystusie, W styczniu biecego roku, tak jak zostao to zapowiedziane w zeszym miesicu podczas konferencji prasowej przez adwokata powoda, zgodnie z ugodami zawartymi w ostatnich latach zostan udostpnione dokumenty dotyczce naduy seksualnych zwizanych z trzydziestoma ksimi Archidiecezji Chicago. Wszystkie te przypadki naduy byy w przeszoci zgoszone odpowiednim wadzom cywilnym, a roszczenia zaspokojone na drodze mediacji. Niemal wszystkie wspomniane incydenty miay miejsce kilka dekad temu. Dopucili si ich ksia, ktrych ani ja, ani wielu modszych duchownych nigdy nie spotkao, ani z nimi nie rozmawiao, gdy ksia ci albo ju w tym czasie nie yli, albo zostali odsunici od duszpasterstwa zanim jeszcze zaczem peni funkcj arcybiskupa Chicago. Niemniej jednak opublikowanie tych dokumentw stawia czyny tych mczyzn tak jak i sam Archidiecezj w centrum zainteresowania. Bez wzgldu na to, jak bolesne jest publiczne rozpatrywanie przeszoci, jest ono zwizane z odpowiedzialnoci i przejrzystoci, do czego Archidiecezja si zobowizaa. Przez ponad dwadziecia lat Archidiecezja zgaszaa wszystkie zarzuty dotyczce naduy seksualnych do wadz wieckich i do DCFS (Departamentu do spraw Dzieci i Rodziny). Dokumenty dotyczce ksiy byy przekazywane wadzom cywilnym za kadym razem, gdy wadze te o nie wystpoway. Odpowiedzialno wzgldem wadz cywilnych, konstytucyjnie odpowiedzialnych za opiek nad dziemi jest czci ycia tutejszego Kocioa. Nazwiska ksiy, co do ktrych wiadomo, i dopucili si naduy seksualnych wzgldem dzieci s obecnie opublikowane na stronie Archidiecezji, a w przyszoci Archidiecezja udostpni wicej informacji na ten temat. Jednak publikacja akt dotyczcych tych przestpstw wznosi przejrzysto na nowy poziom. Modlimy si, eby dowiadczenie to byo pomocne dla niektrych, cho zapewne dla wielu bdzie bardzo bolesne. W cigu kilku ostatnich miesicy papie Franciszek niejednokrotnie zabiera gos na temat klerykalizmu jako za. Klerykalizm ma miejsce wtedy, gdy osoba lub grupa zdecyduje, e nie bdzie ponosia odpowiedzialnoci za swoje czyny. Klerykalizm wrd duchowiestwa jest bezsporny, gdy ksidz uzna, e nie jest odpowiedzialny przed swoim biskupem czy te wiernymi za to, czego naucza, w jaki sposb sprawuje liturgi Kocioa, czy te jak prowadzi wiernych Kocioa, lub kiedy z kolei biskup nie jest odpowiedzialny przed Komisjami i duchowiestwem za swoje duszpasterstwo. Klerykalizm jest duchowo miertelny, gdy ksidz zdecyduje, e nie ponosi odpowiedzialnoci nawet przed Bogiem i amie przyrzeczenie celibatu, jak rwnie przekracza przykazania samego Boga. Oglna dyscyplina pord duchowiestwa osaba akurat w czasach, gdy naduycia seksualne byy najczstsze, czyli w latach 1970 i 1980. Rwnie w Chicago podano za dobrze znanymi obecnie oglnokrajowymi trendami. Jednake w drugiej poowie lat osiemdziesitych Archidiecezja rozpocza porzdkowanie swojego domu i wesza, czasem z wahaniem, na drog odpowiedzialnoci i przejrzystoci. W latach dziewidziesitych, przepisy Archidiecezji nadal pozwalay niektrym sprawcom na ograniczon, nadzorowan form pracy duszpasterskiej bez regularnego kontaktu z dziemi. W roku 2002 Konferencja Biskupw Amerykaskich zdecydowaa, e klauzula zero tolerancji jest jedynym skutecznym sposobem zapewnienia, e dzieci nie bd molestowane. Usunem wwczas z duszpasterstwa tych, ktrzy mieli pozwolenie na kontynuowanie czciowej pracy duszpasterskiej zgodnie z przepisami obowizujcymi za czasw urzdowania moich poprzednikw. Obecnie, jak wynika ze wszystkich naszych dokumentw i akt, w Archidiecezji Chicago nie sprawuje posugi duszpasterkiej aden ksidz, co do ktrego stwierdzono, i dopuci si naduy seksualnych wobec dziecka, bez wzgldu na to kiedy czyny te miay miejsce. Nie tak odlegym przypadkiem, ktry nadwyry zaufanie i bolenie dotkn nasz archidiecezjaln wsplnot jest sprawa Daniela McCormacka. Jak dotd, opis caej sprawy, ktry dociera do opinii publicznej, ksztatowany jest przez prawnikw strony pozywajcej i innych aktywistw, a przekaz ten celowo znieksztaca lub ignoruje fakty, ktre osabiayby oskarenia o zaniedbania ze strony Archidiecezji. Dla cakowitej jasnoci jak rwnie odpowiedzialnoci chc przestawi opinii publicznej nastpujce fakty. 1. Ani w Chicago ani w adnym innym miejscu, gdzie zajmowaem pozycj biskupa lub przeoonego zgromadzenia nigdy nie powoaem do posugi bd przeniosem do innej posugi ksidza, o ktrym wiedziabym, i dopuci si seksualnego naduycia wobec dziecka.

2. Gdy przybyem do Chicago jako arcybiskup, ks. Daniel McCormack cieszy si opini oddanego duszpasterza i bardzo wydajnie pracujcego proboszcza. Zosta wywicony przez kardynaa Bernardina, ktry sprawdzi jego seminaryjn kartotek. Zanim zostaem arcybiskupem, McCormack ju by powoany do grona pedagogicznego seminarium pozycji zaufania spoecznego. Zosta wybrany przez swoich kolegw do reprezentowania ich przed komisj do spraw przydziau ksiy, co byo wyrazem zaufania do jego opinii przez tych, ktrzy znali go najbliej. Zaledwie na kilka miesicy przed jego pierwszym aresztowaniem zosta zarekomendowany przez tych, ktrzy wsppracowaliz nim przy reorganizacji parafii w zachodniej czci miasta, do suby jako dziekan w tej okolicy. By oddany posudze w afroamerykaskich parafiach w biednych czciach miasta. Cieszy si zaufaniam i podziwem. 3. Pierwsze skojarzenie jego nazwiska z moliwym naduyciem seksualnym wobec osoby maoletniej zostao mi przedstawione we wrzeniu 2005, gdy powiedziano mi, i zosta on aresztowany przez policj, przesuchany pod ktem oskarenia i zwolniony z aresztu bez postawienia formalnych zarzutw. Zosta poddany monitoringowi a zakres jego pracy duszpasterskiej z dziemi ograniczony, podczas gdy Archdiecezja rozpocza dochodzenie czy istnieje uzasadnienione podejrzenie, i dopuci si naduycia seksualnego wobec dziecka. Dochodzenie napotkao trudnoci, poniewa zaangaowane w nie jednostki organizacyjne niekonsekwentnie dzieliy si swoj wiedz na ten temat zarwno pomidzy sob jak i ze mn. Rwnie organa cywilne nie przekazyway Archidiecezji informacji uzyskanych podczas prowadzonego przez nie ledztwa. Od czasu gdy zosta aresztowany i zwolniony do momentu aresztowania go po raz drugi i ostatecznego przyznania si do winy, adna z jednostek biorcych udzia w dochodzeniu dotyczcym zarzutw, a nawet sama komisja rewizyjna, ktra zmagaa si ze swoimi uzasadnionymi obawami, nie powiedzieli mi, e sdz, i by winny. 4. Po powtrnym aresztowaniu McCormacka w styczniu 2006 r. wyszo na jaw kilka incydentw, ktre mogyby zosta odczytane jako sygnay ostrzegawcze, gdyby ludzie byli bardziej ostroni. Kady z tych przypadkw - gdy spojrze na to bezstronnie - zostal zbadany przez odpowiedzialne organy i spotka si z ich reakcj. Z perspektywy czasu wida jednak, e odpowied nie zawsze bya adekwatna do faktw, ale bd to nie to samo co tuszowanie sprawy. Nie jest to sprawa pasujca do wzorca, ktrego uywa si do zgaszania naduy seksualnych w kociele Katolickim, dlatego te trudno wyjani postpowanie w tej sprawie. Postpowanie to, nawet gdy wyjanione, nie jest czym co mona atwo pogodzi z naszymi oczekiwaniami wobec Kocioa. Powiedzenie prawdy nie tumaczy poraki.Wane jednak, bymy patrzc w przyszo, wiedzieli co zoyo si na niepowodzenie, bymy mieli wiadomo, e prawda zostaa wypowiedziana, i e Koci czuje si zobowizany do odpowiedzialnoci i przejrzystoci. Nade wszystko jednak Archidiecezja ta jest zdecydowana pomaga ofiarom naduy seksualnych w osigniciu wolnoci koniecznej do godnego ycia. Praca archidiecezjalnego Biura ds. Ochrony Dzieci i Modziey przynosi wielu ofiarom nadziej i wolno. Agencja ta jest odpowiedzialna za rozbudowany system weryfikacji przeszoci kryminalnej kadego pracownika i wolontariusza w Archidiecezji oraz za szkolenia z zakresu ochrony dzieci. W szkoleniach tych musi uczestniczy kady z pracownikw i wolontariuszy. Fakty te powinny by szerzej znane - znowu majc na uwadze przejrzysto i odpowiedzialno. Rekompensata finansowa jest czci pomocy dla ofiar i wynagradzania ich szkd. rodki finansowe, z ktrych wypacane s ugody za naduycia seksualne pochodz z dochodw cakowicie odrbnych od regulanych donacji czy te inwestycji. W przecigu wielu lat Archidiecezja nabya du ilo gruntw i nieruchomoci z myl o ewentualnym rozwoju insytucjonalnym. Sprzeda czci tych niezagospodarowanych gruntw jest rdem wpyww sucych spacaniu ugd finansowych za naduycia seksualne. rodki te nie s i nie bd uywane do pokrywania normalnych kosztw operacyjnych Archdiecezji. Koczc, wszelkie nasze poczynania s znane Bogu, przed ktrym wszyscy odpowiadamy. Jest On Sdzi miosiernym, dlatego prosz Was, ebycie polecali Mu w swoich modlitwach ofiary, sprawcw, jak i ca Archidiecezj w obecnych dziejach naszej historii. Raz jeszcze przepraszam wszystkich poszkodowanych przez te przestpstwa i to zgorszenie, przede wszystkim ofiary, ale rwnie zastpy katolikw, ktrzy zostali okryci wstydem w wyniku poczyna niektrych ksiy i biskupw. Dzikuj i niech Wam Bg bogosawi. Francis Kardyna George, OMI Archidiecezja Chicago
