The Chicago Archdiocese opened the books on sexual abuse by 36 priests Monday morning.
At 9 a.m., decades of internal church files were posted on the archdiocese website.
They involve the confirmed abuse of hundreds of children since 1950.
The document release comes, less than two weeks before the retirement of Francis Cardinal George.
Files on 27 other local priests were released in January.
