• Michael McDonnell says he was abused by two priests when he was 11 to 13 years old between 1981 and 1983. 
• The priests he names as his abusers, John Schmeer and Francis Trauger, were not named in the recent grand jury report accusing the Catholic Church of covering up the abuse of 1,000 children. 
  
• Schmeer and Trauger were, however, named in a 2005 grand jury report on the Philadelphia Archdiocese.
• McDonnell, who is now in his late 40s and is the father of a 12-year-old boy, says he still remembers his abuse vividly nearly four decades later.

A man in Pennsylvania who claims he was sexually abused by two Catholic Church leaders as a child told INSIDER that he was left so traumatized by the alleged ordeal that he still remembers the weather outside on the day he woke up to a priest fondling him.
