Bp. Daniel Ryan worked as chancellor and auxiliary bishop of the Joliet diocese prior to his appointment as Bishop of the Springfield diocese in 1983. In 1999, Bp. Ryan resigned as the bishop of the Diocese of Springfield. Shortly after his resignation, he was named in a lawsuit that was later dismissed. Bp. Ryan allegedly failed to act and covered up sexual misconduct by other priests within the Springfield diocese. In 2002, an allegation against Bp. Ryan surfaced that he solicited sex from a 15 year-old boy in approximately 1984. Bp. Ryan was removed from public ministry while the child sexual abuse allegation against him was investigated. In 2018, Bp. Ryan was included on the Diocese of Springfield’s list of clergy with substantiated cases of sexual abuse of a minor.
