Cardinal Cupich's Response to Sex Abuse Report Criticized by AG Raoul and Advocates.
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul criticized Cardinal Blase Cupich's response to a report revealing that the Catholic Church had hidden the names of hundreds of child-molesting priests and others throughout Illinois. Raoul called Cupich's claims of being blindsided "misleading" and accused the church of covering up allegations of child sex abuse. The investigation found that 451 Catholic clerics and religious brothers molested nearly 2,000 kids across Illinois over the last seven decades. Cupich was in Rome this week and couldn't be reached for comment.
