Neither Cardinal Francis George nor his point man on sexual abuse, Chancellor Jimmy Lago, would comment for this article.
Why not?
The dad who contacted the archdiocese about McGuire in 2002 said he initially called the cardinal’s office, which referred him to the victims’ ministries. [sic]
Why?
In one letter, the dad says his 19-year-old had to share a bed with the priest.
Another parent’s letter relayed an alarming “pattern of behavior” McGuire developed beginning with a June 1998 trip to India with their son. At the time, the boy was 17.
“He stated that Father [McGuire] was overwhelming him with pornographic pictures and talking to him about sexual matters at every waking moment,” the parent wrote.
Remember the Colleen Dolan comment last July about Fr. McCormack, she being Cardinal George’s spokesperson?
“He has not been accused of rape. Never. There’s a big difference between abuse and assault, which is a more egregious crime.”
That’s the spirit, Colleen.

“The 19 year old had to share a bed.” That may be the oddest comment I’ve read regarding this case. The 19 year old (a legal and consenting adult) should have had no problem warding off the attacks of a 73 year old blind man riddled with disease and arthritis. He walks with a walker. Come on… how hard would it be to get away?
In most states, 17 years old is also a legal adult. Either way, should also have had no problem getting away IF IT TRULY HAPPENED and even the judge said he had his doubts in both cases.
Maybe McGuire is the victim and the 19 and 17 year olds made the sexual advances but McGuire refused and this is how they are getting even. It’s easy to make up stories when people want to assume the worst…
