ATTORNEYS preparing for the trial of Catholic priests accused of sexually abusing altar boys – or allowing the abuse – made their final arguments yesterday regarding what evidence will be admissible at trial.

They contend that defendant Monsignor William Lynn allowed some of those men to remain in the priesthood and around vulnerable children when he served as secretary for clergy, from 1992 to 2004.
