“Father Gourley set her up for a lifetime of struggle, severe mental health impairments and future vulnerabilities.”
Leaders of the Archdiocese of Denver in the 1980s failed to protect an elementary school girl from a predatory priest even after they were warned the priest was sexually abusing children, a lawsuit filed against the Catholic archdiocese alleges.
“Defendants knew, or should have known, that Fr. Marshall Gourley was unfit for the priesthood, specifically unfit to engage minors with the authority, control, respect and reverence of a priest and representative of Defendants because, in part, they had received notice Fr. Gourley had committed acts of sexual abuse on children,” the lawsuit states.
Though he’d been publicly accused of sexual abuse in the past, Gourley was not among the priests named in the attorney general’s investigation because that review only looked at priests supervised by the state’s three dioceses,Gourley was ordained in the 1980s as a priest in the Colorado-based Theatine religious order. He was then assigned to the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in the Archdiocese of Denver.
