Loyola College (Baltimore, MD) Removes ANOTHER Jesuit Priest For Old Allegations
(AP) BALTIMORE Loyola College removed a Jesuit clergy member from its Baltimore campus after learning he had been fired from a
Jesuit high school in Dallas 13 years ago because of numerous allegations of sexual misconduct and because he acknowledged to serving alcohol to minors.

Claude Ory, 69, was removed from his position managing the Jesuits' Ignatius House residence last month at the request of Loyola's president, Rev. Brian Linnane, school officials told The Baltimore Examiner.

Loyola spokesman Mark Kelly said he believed Linnane learned of the allegations involving Ory when he became president in 2005. "The college felt, and the Jesuit Province agreed, that it did not want someone with any of those kind of allegations near campus," Kelly said.

Ory has not been charged with any crime.

Ory is at least the third Jesuit clergy member with substantial sexual abuse allegations to be transferred from a Jesuit high school to Loyola College, a pattern that concerns some victims advocates. "The concern we have is that the Jesuits don't even understand how 'leaky' their system is," said Helen Daly, a priest abuse survivor from Towson and co-founder of www.survivorsnetwork.us. "If you just read the public record, you can document this stuff, and absolutely, there is a pattern of shuffling Jesuits after allegations are made from a high school to college."
