Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ;
A month ago I wrote to all the parishes of the Archdiocese to tell you of the audit which was soon to be published about the compliance of each diocese in this country with the provisions of the national Charter for the Protection
of Children and Young People in the Church. When the report, done by outside auditors as is the case with financial
audits, was published, our Archdiocese was found to be in full compliance with the procedures set up by the Charter.
We were, as well, commended for our victims' assistance outreach and several other aspects of our efforts here to
address the sins of the past and to assure a future free of this sin and crime of sexual abuse. The promise that no priest
with a credible allegation of sexual abuse of a minor against him would remain in public ministry in the Church has
been kept. The credibility of some of the allegations is, of course, still being reviewed in a few cases.
This note is to tell you of a second report, very different from the auditing of procedures, which will be published on February 27. As with the audit, I will not see this report from the John Jay College of New York until it is
published. Unlike the audit, it will report numbers. It is a social science research study, based upon confidential data
gathered from every diocese and religious order in the country. Like the audit, it was commissioned because the bishops
promised to try to get to a deeper understanding of how this scandal occurred so that it may never be repeated.
Each diocese reported numbers of allegations, even anonymous accusations, numbers of priests accused, numbers of priests withdrawn, amounts spent for counseling priests and accusers, legal costs and settlements for the past
fifty years. No other group has assembled comparable numbers, so no point of comparison to other groups will be possible. Nevertheless, with such an immense amount of raw data, the National Review Board will give a first interpretation and then social scientists will use this database for other studies in the months and years to come. The study is not
a report on individual cases but a set of data which will show trends over the years, ages of victims and abusers throughout the country, the costs nationwide of this misconduct and the means taken, through insurance especially, to meet these
costs. All this should lead to a more scientific understanding of causes and suggest changes that might be made for the
future.
The basic data given by the Archdiocese to the John Jay researchers have been made public here in two reports.
The first in 1992 covered forty years; the second, published in 2003, was an update covering ten years. Our data show
that about two percent of the thousands of priests ministering to Catholics over the past fifty years have had a credible
allegation of sexual abuse of minors against them. Many of these priests are now dead, a few are in prison, and all are
out of ministry. Names have been published as priests were withdrawn, and every case has been reported to civil
authorities responsible for the protection of minors in our society.
I ask you to receive this report as something to be brought to prayer. The Church is called to be holy; for our
sanctification, Christ died. The Church has saints, but each saint is a reformed sinner. The sins of each harm us all.
Each day I pray for those who have been sexually abused by priests of the Archdiocese. No matter when or how that
abuse occurred, terrible harm, spiritual and psychological and sometimes physical, was inflicted. I pray also for the
priests who have to face the Lord and his people as well as themselves. Let us keep each other in prayer.
God bless you and your families.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I.
Archbishop of Chicago

15 lutego, 2004
Drodzy Bracia i Siostry w Chrystusie:
Miesi¹c temu poinformowa³em wszystkie parafie naszej Archidiecezji o podaniu do publicznej wiadomoœci wyników
kontroli dotycz¹cej tego, jak poszczególne diecezje naszego kraju wype³nia³y ustalenia Karty Biskupów w Sprawie Ochrony
Dzieci i M³odzie¿y. Kontrola ta przeprowadzana by³a przez specjalistów z zewn¹trz, tak jak ma to miejsce w przypadku kontroli finansowych. Ze sprawozdania wynika, ¿e nasza Archidiecezja ca³kowicie stosuje siê do wszystkich ustaleñ zawartych
w Karcie. Wyra¿ono równie¿ uznanie dla stworzonego przez nas programu pomocy ofiarom nadu¿yæ seksualnych i kilku
innych aspektów naszej dzia³alnoœci dotycz¹cych zmagania siê z grzechami przesz³oœci i zapewniania przysz³oœci wolnej od
takich wystêpków, które s¹ nie tylko strasznym grzechem, ale i przestêpstwem kryminalnym. Dotrzymana zosta³a obietnica,
¿e ¿aden ksi¹dz, pod adresem którego pad³o uzasadnione oskar¿enie o przestêpstwo seksualne wobec osoby nieletniej, nie
bêdzie móg³ sprawowaæ publicznie swojej pos³ugi w Koœciele. Oczywiœcie w niektórych przypadkach trwa jeszcze dochodzenie maj¹ce na celu ustalenie wiarygodnoœci oskar¿eñ.
List niniejszy ma na celu poinformowanie Was o kolejnym, bardzo ró¿nym od poprzedniego sprawozdaniu, które
zostanie podane do wiadomoœci publicznej 27 lutego. Tak, jak to by³o poprzednim razem, tak i teraz nie bêdê zna³ treœci sprawozdania John Jay College of New York, a¿ do momentu, gdy jego treœæ zostanie oficjalnie podana do wiadomoœci publicznej. W przeciwieñstwie do poprzedniego sprawozdania, to bêdzie zawiera³o g³ównie liczby. Jest to bowiem naukowe badanie
socjologiczne opracowane na podstawie tajnych danych liczbowych pozyskanych ze wszystkich diecezji i zakonów z terenu
naszego kraju. Podobnie jak w przypadku auditu tak i tu zlecono przeprowadzenie tego badania, po to aby daæ biskupom
mo¿noœæ g³êbszego wnikniêcia w przyczyny le¿¹ce u pod³o¿a tego skandalu. Poznanie przyczyn problemów pozwoli to zapobiec im w przysz³oœci, tak ¿eby podobne sytuacje nigdy ju¿ siê nie powtórzy³y.
Ka¿da diecezja przedstawi³a do wgl¹du iloœæ oskar¿eñ, nawet anonimowych, o molestowanie seksualne, iloœæ ksiê¿y
oskar¿onych, iloœæ ksiê¿y odsuniêtych od sprawowania pos³ugi, sumy wydane na terapie dla ksiê¿y i osób wysuwaj¹cych
oskar¿enia pod ich adresem oraz koszta prowadzenia spraw i odszkodowañ poniesione na przestrzeni ostatnich piêædziesiêciu
lat. ¯adna grupa nie zgromadzi³a porównywalnych danych liczbowych, tak ¿e nie ma punktu odniesienia do ¿adnych innych
zgromadzonych danych. Niemniej jednak, tak ogromna iloϾ zebranych informacji pozwoli Krajowej Radzie Nadzorczej na
ich wstêpn¹ interpretacjê. Nastêpnie, przez wiele nastêpnych miesiêcy i lat dane te bêd¹ s³u¿y³y socjologom i specjalistom
w dziedzinie innych nauk spo³ecznych jako materia³ do celów naukowych. Badanie to nie jest bowiem zestawieniem
poszczególnych przypadków lecz zestawem danych, który ma ilustrowaæ istniej¹ce na przestrzeni lat trendy jak np.: wiek
napastuj¹cych i ich ofiar na terenie ca³ego kraju, koszta finansowe tego skandalu i œrodki wydane na ich pokrycie (g³ównie
koszta ubezpieczeñ). W efekcie tych badañ powinniœmy uzyskaæ lepsze zrozumienie przyczyn problemu oraz sugestie co do
ewentualnych zmian, które powinny zostaæ wprowadzone na przysz³oœæ.
Podstawowe dane udostêpnione przez Archidiecezjê badaczom z John Jay College zosta³y opublikowane w dwóch
sprawozdaniach. Pierwsze, z roku 1992, pokrywa³o okres czterdziestu lat; drugie, opublikowane w roku 2003 by³o uzupe³nieniem o aktualne dane i pokry³o okres dziesiêciu lat. Z naszych danych wynika, ¿e z tysiêcy ksiê¿y sprawuj¹cych pos³ugê
duszpastersk¹ dla katolików w ci¹gu ostatnich piêædziesiêciu lat, oko³o dwóch procent zosta³o w sposób wiarygodny
oskar¿onych o nadu¿ycia seksualne wobec nieletnich. Wielu z tych ksiê¿y ju¿ nie ¿yje, kilku przebywa w wiêzieniach,
a wszyscy inni zostali odsuniêci od sprawowania swojej pos³ugi. W ka¿dym przypadku odsuniêcia ksiêdza od pracy, jego
nazwisko podawane jest do wiadomoœci publicznej, a sprawa przekazywana jest w³adzom cywilnym odpowiedzialnym za
zapewnienie bezpieczeñstwa dzieciom i nieletnim. Proszê Was usilnie o to, by sprawozdanie to sta³o siê przedmiotem
Waszych modlitw. Nasz Koœció³ wezwany jest do œwiêtoœci; Chrystus sam umar³ po to by nas uœwiêciæ. Choæ Koœció³ raduje
siê, i¿ wielu z jego cz³onków zosta³o kanonizowanych i og³oszonych œwiêtymi, pamiêta przecie¿, ¿e ka¿dy z nich jest nawróconym grzesznikiem. Indywidualny grzech ka¿dego z nas z osobna rani nas wszystkich jako wspólnotê. Modlê siê ka¿dego
dnia w intencji wszystkich ofiar nadu¿yæ seksualnych, jakich dopuœcili siê ksiê¿a naszej archidiecezji. Bez wzglêdu na to,
w jaki sposób nadu¿ycie to wygl¹da³o, wyrz¹dzona zosta³a straszna krzywda - duchowa, psychiczna, czasem nawet fizyczna.
Modlê siê te¿ za ksiê¿y, którzy musz¹ stan¹æ przez obliczem Pana, Jego wiernych i w³asnego sumienia. Módlmy siê za siebie
wzajemnie.
Niech Bóg b³ogos³awi Wam i Waszym rodzinom.
Oddany Wam w Chrystusie,
Francis Kardyna³ George, O.M.I.
