The report found, in all six dioceses in Illinois, there were 451 Catholic clerics and religious brothers who abused nearly 2,000 children.
Before Raoul's investigation began in 2018, the six Catholic dioceses in Illinois listed only 103 substantiated child sex abusers. The attorney general's investigation into child sex abuse by members of the Catholic clergy found an additional 348 clerics who abused kids between 1950 and 2019.Raoul said, because of many of its good deeds, the Catholic church became a pillar of trust, and it is that trust that was broken over and over.
that more than 300 Catholic clergy members in that state had abused more than 1,000 children over the prior 70 years.The Archdiocese of Chicago lists 150 abusers, but the report named 275."I would like to express my sincere gratitude to each and every survivor, and to others who contacted my office, for trusting us with their deeply personal experiences," he said.
"We must think first of the survivors of sexual abuse who carry the burden of these crimes through their lives. On behalf of the archdiocese, I apologize to all who have been harmed by the failure to prevent and properly respond to child sexual abuse by clerics. Survivors will forever be in our prayers, and we have devoted ourselves to rooting out this problem and providing healing to victims," Cupich said.
Cupich said there were five duplicates. Of the 120 that aren't on the list, five were ordained from another diocese and reportedly serving in the archdiocese. The other 115 are order clerics or lay brothers, and the diocese doesn't have access to any of their records.
