COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. [St. Cloud Times] — St. John's Abbey and the survivors of sexual misconduct by current and former abbey members have reached an agreement about the distribution of a letter signed by two survivors and Abbot John Klassen.
Writing the letter and distributing it to former students at St. John's Prep School in Collegeville was a key part of a settlement announced Monday that ended nine of 12 legal actions against the abbey.
However, the St. Cloud Times reports confusion soon developed about how to distribute the letter which names 17 current and former abbey members who have been credibly accused of sexual misconduct.
The agreement jointly announced Friday calls for the abbey to send the letter to anyone who attended the school and has their address on file with the alumni office.
St. John's Abbey to mail letter about abuse to prep school alumni
The Abbey at St. John's was required to publish the perpetrators, but Chicago Archdiocese, with its strange and troubled past, has refused to do so. Actually, we'd like to see Fr. Andrew Greeley's alleged list of all the Chicago Boys' Club members. Since he suffered an "accident" recently, we still haven't heard about that list, if it exists or not.
