“I believe we the people have the power, not them, because we have the truth,” Bochte said. “I have zero faith in any church or diocese that they are going to do the right thing.” “Sadly, if you’re expecting the bishop to do the right thing, you’re likely to be disappointed and kids will get hurt,” Clohessy said. The Bible states “the truth will set you free,” Clohessy said, not 40% of the truth or “90% of the truth if the attorney general is breathing down your neck.”from Providence Catholic High School in 2017 amid a police investigation into “potentially inappropriate material” on his cellphone.
New Lenox police said they ended the cellphone investigation after McGrath “steadfastly refused” to turn over the device. In the other criminal probe, involving the sexual abuse claims by a former student, Will County prosecutors said there was “insufficient evidence to bring charges.” That ruling meant Murphy lost his job at Lewis University, a Catholic university in Romeoville, where he worked as director of ministry and a history teacher since 1987.In 1985, the order removed Murphy from the high school after allegations surfaced he had engaged in “inappropriate corporal punishment,” or spanking, involving students. Murphy was restricted from all unsupervised contact with minors and underwent treatment from 1985 through 1999, officials said at the time.
