Rev. Ed Schmidt, the Chicago Province Jesuit provincial superior, is on the hot seat for apparent misfeasance in the Rev. Donald McGuire SJ case.  He won’t say, rather can’t say, if they are trying to expel the convicted, twice-sued pederast McGuire.

Bull, says Rev. Kenneth Lasch, a New Jersey pastor emeritus and canon lawyer outspoken in clergy abuse matters.  “There’s no reason he can’t say, and in fact, it’s an outrage that he doesn’t say,” he told Sun-Times.

Add to that Schmidt’s claim that he does not know how many Chi Prov Jesuits have been accused of child abuse, and you have cause for what in other circles would be called impeachment, unless he’s captive of his consultors and/or someone in Rome.
