The Archdiocese of Chicago is reinstating the Rev. John Clemens after its Independent Review Board rejected an accusation of child sexual abuse against him, Archbishop Blase Cupich said in a letter issued Tuesday.
"In light of the information presented, the IRB determined that there is not a reasonable cause to believe Father Clemens sexually abused a minor," Cupich's letter said."In addition, the Board recommended that the file be closed and Father Clemens be returned to ministry." "Father Clemens supports the need for us as a Church to keep our word that the safety of children remains our priority," Cupich wrote."At the same time, we must keep our commitment to do everything possible to restore Father Clemens's good name."
