Attorneys for those affected by childhood clergy sexual abuse filed a lawsuit Monday against eight Pennsylvania Catholic dioceses and their bishops to compel mandatory abuse reporting.
The lawsuit named the dioceses of Altoona-Johnstown, Allentown, Erie, Greensburg, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Scranton-Wilkes-Barre and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia along with their respective bishops as defendants. Attorneys for the plaintiffs said the goal of the lawsuit is to force the aforementioned dioceses to release all of the names of clergy implicated in child abuse or relevant cover-ups in accordance with the Pennsylvania Child Protective Services Law.
