The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago announced Tuesday that it has reached a settlement of more than $12 million with clergy sex-abuse victims, including ones abused by Daniel McCormack, a former priest on the West Side.
The settlement also covers allegations against 10 other archdiocese priests or former priests, according to lawyers for the victims.
The announcement was made at 10 a.m. at the archdiocese headquarters at 155 E. Superior St. by Cardinal Francis George and the archdiocese chancellor, Jimmy Lago.
$12 million of the carefully and painfully earned contributions of thousands of Catholics. Shame, shame, shame on the corruption that allowed the McCormicks to be ordained and moved around to continue their perverted attacks on innnocent boys.
