I’ve long suspected Bernardin and his boys of misbehaving — but this blows my mind.
About a year before Bernadin died in the early 1990s, a young man in his 20s came forth with an accusation that Bernardin had molested him repeatedly when he was a kid. I remember how Bernadin oh-so-piously denied the charges, and the Chicago media castigated the accuser to no end while assuring the public about Bernardin`s wonderfulness.
At the time, they had me convinced. If Bernardin was indeed guilty .. may he rot in hell.
