The priest accused of abuse of 200 deaf children in a school near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, used a family cottage in the town of Boulder Junction, to commit part of their abuse and could have followed them there after their retirement. Father Lawrence Murphy, who in 1974 was forced to retreat without their superiors informed of their crimes to the police, then fled in the same residence where he had lured children to be abused, has revealed to The New York Times , citing internal documents of the Catholic Church.
Murphy This shows that not only abused hundreds of children from school for deaf children, which occurred between 1960 and 1974, but possibly others. Two people of the Northwoods region, where the house, have accused the priest of abuse: one in the house itself and the other in a nearby juvenile detention center, occurred in 1978.
Julie Wolf, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, explained that the religious restrictions imposed on him after the scandal of 1974, among others, to avoid having contact with children, but the priest "ignored them:" They tried to convince him over the years, but without success, "he said. In fact, Murphy interacted freely with children (in religion class in high school and even on trips outdoors) until his death in 1998.
Murphy's case has splashed to the Vatican, a huge tide of complaints of abuse by priests and starring after The New York Times itself will bring to light documents that say that this case met the Pope in 1996 when headed the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith ordered a few months after the bishops start a secret canonical trial that could have led to the expulsion of Murphy. But the then Secretary of State in Rome, Tarcisio Bertone, halted that order. Ratzinger wrote asking him to let her die in peace Murphy. That request reflects a tension between the local bishop and the Vatican. According to the Times, officials of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee were the ones who prompted the Vatican to act against Murphy.
But the Vatican argued that the priest had shown "apparent good behavior since leaving the school for deaf children. Only in appearance. Donald Marshall, now 45, claims that the priest tried to touch his genitals in 1978 when she was 14 and spent his days in a juvenile detention center visiting Murphy charity.
Marshall says when told the event to one of the leaders of the center, he was told that there had been more complaints against the priest and church authorities had been informed. Finally, sued the archdiocese last year.
In another letter sent in 2002 to Bishop Raphael Fliss, a teacher of 52 years Murphy accused of molesting him in his cabin by the lake when I was an altar boy. Requesting $ 25,000 compensation. On Tuesday, Archbishop Jerome Listecki said during a Mass: "The errors were committed in Rome in 1996, 1997 and 1998, the mistakes were made here in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, in the seventies, eighties and nineties. The church made the civil authorities and bishops. And so, I apologize. "
