The Keepers, a Netflix documentary centered around the death of nun Sister Cathy Cesnik — who taught English and drama at the former, all-girls Archbishop Keough High School — and the Archdiocese of Baltimore’s sexual abuse allegations involving former priest A. Joseph Maskell, was released to the public on May 19.
Archdoicese Vice Chancellor Sean Caine spoke with WBAL NewsRadio 1090 Monday about the seven-part series.
“It was very difficult to watch and while I personally did not have any interactions with some of the women who shared their stories in the series, I of course read a lot about what they had said and been through and you can’t help but feel tremendous empathy and sadness for what they went through and the abuse they suffered,” he told WBAL News Now host Bryan Nehman.
The church has paid a number of settlements to those who alleged sexual abuse by Maskell, who denied one accusation before he died in 2001. Accusations against Maskell date back at least to 1992. He was defrocked in 1995.
