In an effort to bring deeper scrutiny to Mater Dei High School, an advocacy group for survivors of Catholic Church abuse has filed three complaints with government and church officials overThe complaints, filed this week by a New Jersey leader of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, are an attempt to ensure that organizations other than the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange investigate a report of hazing at the private high school in Orange County.
Bellocchio, 40, is a former Catholic schoolteacher and principal. He accused former U.S. Cardinal Theodore McCarrick of raping him while he was a teenager. McCarrick, now 91, wasin 2019. Months later, Francis issued a new church law requiring dioceses to create a system to receive and address claims of abuse and related misconduct.
The complaint described an interaction called “Bodies,” in which two players punch each other between the shoulders and the waist. The student agreed to fight a player 50 pounds heavier in an “effort to fit in and show he was tough enough,” according to the complaint. The fact that the locker-room altercation had a name, “Bodies,” suggests that it had become ritualized among the players, Bellocchio said: “You don’t name a random fight in its first incarnation.”
