Erie Bishop Emeritus Donald Trautman has ended an effort to block references to him in a forthcoming grand jury report on sexual abuse in six Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania.
The agreement came after the office of Attorney General Josh Shapiro agreed to stipulate that several of the blistering criticisms in the report — into how the Catholic hierarchy handled predator priests in general — didn’t apply to Bishop Trautman specifically.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday granted the bishop’s request to withdraw his petition.
