Today the USA Northeast Province of the Society of Jesus @Jesuitseast releases its list of names of all Jesuits credibly accused of sexual abuse, since 1950. The list is posted, along with a letter from the Provincial Superior, on its website: jesuitseast.org/news-detail?TN… 1/
With the release of this list from @Jesuitseast, every Jesuit Province in the United States will have released its list of names of men credibly accused of abuse since 1950. 2/
The release of these names is the right and moral thing to do. It is a necessary step in the process of confession and reconciliation that must happen in the church. 3/
This is also my home province and this list fills me with both shame and anger. Though I had no authority over any of these men, the crimes and sins of my brother Jesuits shame and anger me intensely. 4/
Today’s Gospel speaks of Jesus healing a man with an “unclean spirit” in the midst of the synagogue (Mk 1:21-28). Today we ask Jesus to help us heal the evil that we encounter in the church today. 5/
The Northeast Province has asked that all requests for interviews and statements be directed to the Province. 6/
Statement by Matt Malone, SJ, @Americaeditor americamagazine.org/press/jan15-st… 7/
Pray today especially for all victims and survivors of sexual abuse by Jesuits. 8/8
