Nearly 24 hours after priests in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia
convened for meetings with Archbishop Charles Chaput, a state
representative who claims he was abused as a child by a priest is
hosting a panel for legislators on a bill that would expand the statute
of limitations for filing lawsuits against suspected abusers and
institutions that allegedly protected them.
Phil Saviano, whose efforts to help Boston Globe reporters expose suspected child sex abuse by nearly 90 priests in 2002 were included in the Academy Award-winning film, “Spotlight,” will be among five panelists featured in East Wing Senate Hearing Room 8 A at 12:30 this afternoon. Host is state Rep. Mark Rozzi of Berks County, D-126, who has identified himself as a survivor of Catholic clergy abuse.
