First Thing: Late Jesuit global leader allegedly let known child molester become a priest

Court records show Pedro Arrupe, a candidate for sainthood, failed to stop Donald Dickerson being ordained. Plus, deadly clashes on Thai-Cambodian border

Good morning.

The former worldwide leader of the Jesuit religious order Pedro Arrupe acknowledged he was warned that one of his aspiring priests had been accused of sexually molesting two children and had admitted making sexual advances on a third, court documents reveal.

What is the claim in the Louisiana case? The lawsuit claims Dickerson raped a 17-year-old student at a Jesuit-run university in New Orleans.

Should we expect further developments? Yes. On Wednesday, the House oversight committee voted 8-2 to subpoena the justice department to release files related to Epstein, and subpoenaed Ghislaine Maxwell for a deposition.
