PHILADELPHIA (PA)
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests

Given the Catholic hierarchy’s ongoing protection of those who commit and conceal child sex crimes, we believe Judge Sarmina has made a prudent choice. If Msgr. Lynn is behind bars, there’s virtually no way that he can flee the country, destroy evidence, deceive victims, mislead parishioners or take other steps to further cover up wrongdoing.
Some may view this decision as harsh. We consider it just and smart. And we hope it will help end current cover ups and deter future cover ups by Catholic officials across the country.
