Fr. Donald McGuire served as Mother Teresa's spiritual director
SAN FRANCISCO (ChurchMilitant.com) - A priest with ties to Mother Teresa stands accused of sexually abusing underage boys for decades, one victim saying the abuse occurred more than 1,000 times.
Robert J. Goldberg filed suit in state court in California on Monday, alleging the late Fr. Donald J. McGuire sexually abused him "more than 1,000 times, in multiple states and countries," according to court documents.
McGuire, a Jesuit priest, died in 2017 during a 25-year federal prison sentence for molesting minors.
According to the lawsuit, Goldberg was 11 when he first met Fr. McGuire in 1970 in Chicago. The priest made an in-road with the boy's mother, and hired the boy as his personal assistant. When Fr. McGuire moved to California in 1976, Goldberg and his family followed along.
At times, the priest would share the boy's bed at the family home. Much of the alleged sexual abuse happened as Goldberg traveled with McGuire to spiritual retreats. The abuse included "sexual touching, oral copulation and anal penetration," the lawsuit states.
In a press conference Tuesday, Attorney Jeff Anderson said Jesuit provincials knew of homosexual pederasty allegations against McGuire, but kept him in ministry for years, shuffling him across the country and letting him travel around the world.
"Thus, this lawsuit names the Jesuit order," Anderson told reporters.

Time to file RICO suits...
I think they ought to look at Pope Che. He is so weird I Have to wonder if he is part of the Lavender Mafia - Commie Branch
Anyone who leaves their son alone with a catholic priest is an unfit parent that needs to be prosecuted for child endangerment and willful neglect.
I think that it would be more accurate to say:
Anyone who would let an unrelated adult male routinely share a bed with their sone needs to be prosecuted for child endangerment and willful neglect.
The Catholic church has protected these pedophile priests and shuffled them around to unsuspecting parishes for decades.
Time to forsake the assembly.
What could go wrong? SMH
Anyone who would let an unrelated adult male routinely share a bed with their sone needs to be prosecuted for child endangerment and willful neglect.
Abusers, for the most part, were abused when they were young. The sickness is generational.
As a Catholic school counselor, I knew that priest. He would come to the school to meet with seniors to recruit for the Saint Ignatius Institue. The students were both males and females.
I never had any complaints or reports from parents about the priest or the school with one exception. One girl left the school because middle eastern male students were sexually too pushy.
One always has to wonder about very late accusations. May the evidence presented be true and complete and the finder(s) of fact be prudent and just.
Three times a day for about ten months.
You are so right. This makes me sick.
No PARENT leaves any child alone with another adult, church or not.

True. Fr. McGuire is not here to defend himself from Mr. Goldberg’s accusation. He died in prison while serving a 25 year sentence for sexual molestation. The judge apparently thought it appropriate to give him a lengthy sentence. Face it. For the good of the Church, the Jesuit order should be disbanded.
I am familiar with some Jesuit Universities. I would estimate at least 1/3 of the Jesuits are practicing homosexuals.
This pedophile ‘priest’ ought to be strung up by his jewels.
Monster!
The troublesome Jesuits in the order need to be sanctioned. The order has many good and holy men.
Abuse more than 1,000 times? How is it still abuse and not consensual after a certain period of time and number of events?
I feel bad for victims of abuse, but 1,000 times?
