A long-awaited grand jury report on Pittsburgh, Greensburg and four other Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania could be released as early as Tuesday.
The state Supreme Court is considering releasing the 800-page report with the names of some priest and church officials redacted while it hears appeals.
KDKA’s Andy Sheehan has a look at what details the report might contain.
The Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh became a national leader in reform under now-Cardinal Donald Wuerl, who at the time was the diocese’s bishop. Wuerl defied The Vatican in 1993 by refusing to reassign Fr. Anthony Cipolla, who was the center of a sexual abuse case in the 1990s.
However, the rest of the record is not so stellar, according to victims who carry the scars.
KDKA uncovered the story of Paul Dorsch and several of his former classmates at Quigley High School, who say they were molested by their former headmaster Fr. Jack Hoehl.
