ABOVE the announcement for confessions on Tuesday at 7pm, the weekly
bulletin for St Rose of Lima’s church near Philadelphia had an unusual
notice for parishioners with the heading, “JUST SO YOU ARE AWARE”.
It stated that Nick Miccarelli voted in favour of House Bill 1947. The legislation would abolish the criminal statute of limitations for future child sexual abuse cases, including rape, incest and statutory sexual assault. In addition to sitting in the statehouse, Mr Miccarelli is a member of the parish.
