Archdiocese of Chicago offers a means for inquiring about possible abusers<\/a><\/p>\n

An online form requesting information about any diocesan priest — past or present — may be submitted through the archdiocese’s Web site, www.archdiocese-chgo.org, and archdiocesan officials say they will respond, in writing, within two weeks.<\/p>\n

The online inquiry, which is available in English, Spanish and Polish, requires the person seeking information to provide their name and address. The form also asks for a reason for the inquiry, but does not require one to be given as a condition of processing the request.<\/p>\n

The Web-based inquiry process differs greatly from what archdiocesan Chancellor Jimmy Lago said last fall church officials were hoping to provide. At a press conference last September, Lago said he thought the archdiocese would have an online searchable database much like that of the state’s Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
