The news couldn’t have been more sickening or disgusting. A grand
jury report recently accused two former Altoona-Johnstown Roman Catholic
Diocese bishops of covering up or failing to act swiftly enough on
sexual abuse claims against more than 50 priests from 1966 until 2011.
The report says the late Bishop James Hogan and former Bishop Joseph Adamec kept filing cabinets with 115,042 secret documents detailing victims’ abuse claims. It tells how church officials transferred the accused priests to other parishes, and intervened when local and state police made inquiries, starting in the mid-1960s.
