Fr. John Hardon SJ was told by a close friend of mine about McGuire’s abuse, and did nothing.
Up to a certain time in history, it seems never to have dawned on ANYBODY simply to call the police. One reads of hundreds of outraged, distraught parents, who complained again and again to chancellors and bishops—but never once picked up the phone to call the police themselves.
Fortunately, the government schools and Protestant churches have been free of problems of this kind.

Good point - an administrative complaint is for something like parking in your reserved spot.
When the offense is child abuse, it’s definitely time for the police.

"As the second-highest official with the Chicago Jesuits in the 1990s, the Rev. Robert J. Geisinger, SJ, was privy to documents chronicling the abuse of Rev. Donald J. McGuire, SJ, whom the Globe describes as a globe-trotting priest with many influential supporters, including Mother Teresa of Calcutta. A review of Church records by the Globes Michael Rezendes shows that Geisinger had knowledge of McGuires abuse as early as 1995, and was still making internal recommendations as late as 2002."Fr.
