Jesuit order severing ties to McGuire

— McGuire’s Jesuit order, the Chicago Province of the Society of Jesus, apparently is severing ties with the retired priest.

In a letter to Judge James Carlson, the Rev. Edward W. Schmidt asks that McGuire be jailed because he cannot be watched closely by the Jesuits.

“Clearly, the only failsafe mechanism to ensure the public’s safety would be to order that McGuire begin to serve his sentence and thus be incarcerated,” according to the letter.

McGuire living alone in an apartment “causes me and many others serious concern,” Schmidt wrote.

The province is concerned enough about McGuire that it is hiring a private security company to monitor McGuire’s movements at his home.

McGuire recently was accused of molesting another boy, now age 21, as recently as 2003, according to court documents.

SHAME on Cardinal MAHONY 500 times more than the Jesuits...and shame on Pope John Paul II 5,450 times more than the Jesuits because he and then Cardinal Ratzinger covered-up the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army see the John Paul II Millstone www.jp2m.blogspot.com
and Pope-Ratzinger God's Rottweiler http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/

Compare the CRIMES and their VICTIMS in America

Victims - Attackers - Responsible Leader

Pearl Harbor - 3,000 victims - 170 planes - Admiral Yamamoto

WTC & 9/11 attacks - 5,000 victims - 19 Muslims - Osama bin Laden

USA Priest Pedophilia - 12,000 victims - 5,450 priests - John Paul II & Benedict XVI and Josemaria Escriba OD

Gee the Jesuits waited 35+ years to decide that they could not get this renegade to follow his vows. They want the justice system to do what they can not, get this monster under control. And why do they want the justice system to do this, because mcguire is a walking time-bomb, a serial molestor of young boys. The Jesuits hid the files on him from the Walworth county DA. They denied, under oath, in Walworth, that he had any history of abuse. Shame on the Jesuits...

The Jesuits are the FIRST to ask a judge to jail their own pedophile member - have the Christian Brothers or the Franciscans (who have more pedophile brotehrs and priests members) ever done that? Cardinal Mahony went to every lenght to protect his HUNDREDS of LA pedophile priests by not telling their whereabouts and by hiding (shredding) their personal priests files from the judges and the LA courthouse http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_arch...
