I had a long phone call today that really disturbed me. I heard allegations from a very reliable source that a priest I knew well in high school and college, may well have been guilty of molesting my fellow seminarians. Up until today, I had the feeling that the Milwaukee seminary I attended had escaped these problems, but maybe not.

In addition, the infamous Father Murphy was next door at St. John's School for the Deaf, and apparently it was well-known among our faculty that Murphy was molesting students. Apparently, the seminary faculty expected the archbishop to do something about it - but I wonder why the faculty I loved and respected, didn't do something about it.

So, I have to take time to think and gather information.
