Sex Abuse Talking Points Uncovered
So what would you do if you ran a company where your
employees were regularly accused of raping and molesting young customers and the public just won't stop bugging you or your workers about it?
Well, if you're the Archdiocese of Chicago, you put together an internal talking points memo (like the kind the GOP delivers to FOX News each morning) and send it to your pastors and priests which they can refer to when being asked the tough questions. In Chicago, the local ABC News affiliate has uncovered such a document, causing victim's groups to raising questions about whether the archdiocese is as honest and transparent as it now claims. The confidential memos were circulated in July to coincide with the announcement of nearly $4 million in settlements reached in several sex abuse cases involving the Chicago archdiocese. You can read the entire memo here.
