Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan wants to meet with Catholic church leaders throughout the state to ensure “a complete and accurate accounting” of alleged child sex abuse by priests with local ties who were named in the Pennsylvania grand jury report.
At least seven of the more than 300 Roman Catholic priests named in the Pennsylvania report this month have Illinois connections.
The Chicago Archdiocese has agreed to meet with Madigan, and she plans to speak with other Catholic bishops throughout the state, she said in a statement released Thursday.
“The Catholic Church has a moral obligation to provide its parishioners and the public a complete and accurate accounting of all sexually inappropriate behavior,” she said.
