WHY: 1) In recent years, Chaput has brought to
Philadelphia a controversial Catholic sect based in Peru whose founder
molested kids. The sect's founder and seven aides are also accused of
kidnapping and assaulting youth. Several members of the group, including
a priest, now run the parish and Newman Center at both Drexel and the
University of Pennsylvania. But as best SNAP can tell, Chaput has never
disclosed or discussed the crimes of the group’s Peru-based officials,
or explained or apologized for his vigorous support of the group, either
in Pennsylania, Colorado or Peru.
