In the U.S. state of Illinois should have almost 700 Catholic priests against children. This number of state attorney Lisa Madigan announced on Wednesday. The Catholic Church itself had given the number of priests and other clergy in the state, against which credible allegations of abuse are present, with 185.

Madigan said now, however, since August of ongoing investigations into allegations against more than 500 other clergy had been revealed. Therefore, the number rose to 690. The Catholic Church does not “have investigated the allegations thoroughly,” said the Prosecutor. You have violated their “moral obligation” to bring the whole truth about “sexually inappropriate behavior” of their priests in the state to light.

The Catholic Church in the USA has been rocked in recent years by a series of abuse cases. Again and again the Offense of the priests were covered up. (roy/AFP)
