Archbishop Charles Chaput issued a letter July 14 updating the
faithful of the Philadelphia Archdiocese on the status of a bill that
proposes to lift the statutes of limitation on civil lawsuits of child
sexual abuse in Pennsylvania.
The letter in English and Spanish was dated for this weekend, July 16-17, and sent to all priests and deacons in the archdiocese via email along with several supporting documents showing the long-term effects of child sexual abuse for adult survivors and numerous resources to which abuse victims in Philadelphia, its four suburban counties and statewide may turn for help.
