A Catholic diocese in Pennsylvania announced
Thursday that it will post the names online of priests credibly accused
of sexually abusing children, a decision that came two days after a
dramatic grand jury report alleged a decades-long cover-up.
Advocates hope that the grand jury report, which was announced just two days after the movie Spotlightfocused
national attention on child sexual abuse by winning the Oscar for Best
Picture, will lead to new legislation permitting more prosecutions of
abusive priests and those who supervised them.
