Several members of a support group for people molested by clergymen plan Friday afternoon to publicize a new lawsuit they say has been served on Orlando's Catholic bishop, and to criticize him for his handling of the matter.

Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests says the suit stems from the abuse of a boy in the 1970s by a priest at a parish in Winter Garden. The group, whose founder will be at the Orlando event outside the Diocese of Orlando's chancery building on Robinson Street, says Bishop Thomas Wenski should have made the lawsuit public when it was filed in February.

A spokeswoman for the diocese did not immediately respond to the Orlando Sentinel's request for comment.
