MILWAUKEE -- Marquette University's president is accused of protecting one of the nation's most notorious predator priests.
The allegations are part of a pending lawsuit against the Rev. Donald McGuire and his order.The Rev. Robert Wild supervised McGuire in the late 1980s when he headed up the Chicago Province of the Society of Jesus.Long before McGuire was a convicted pedophile, he was arguably the one of the country's most prominent Jesuits."Father McGuire is a saint, walking around among us," McGuire supporter Tony Mockus said at McGuire's sentencing in 2007.McGuire was best known as spiritual adviser to Mother Teresa and often brought children and families to meet her, despite, claims the lawsuit, the growing number of sexual misconduct complaints against him."As Father McGuire is being presented to the world as Mother Teresa's spiritual adviser and the director of his order of nuns, the Jesuits, including Father Wild, never tell her that this man is a pedophile priest," said the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests spokesman Peter Isely.
