Well, duh… if you were trying to cover up sexual abuse, wouldn’t you shred the reports too?
Former Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland routinely shredded copies of weekly reports about sexual abuse by priests, according to formerly sealed testimony released Thursday by an advocacy group for victims of abuse.
In depositions taken during the 1990s, Weakland admitted destroying copies of the reports in his office, according to the documents released by Survivors Network of those Abuse by Priests, or SNAP.
