The worldwide clergy sex abuse crisis is poised to implode anew in this country as Pennsylvania prepares as early as Wednesday to release a long-awaited grand jury report on hundreds of predatory priests.
Members of the clergy had until Tuesday to appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to have their names redacted from the 900-page report. The court had set a deadline of Aug. 7 by which petitioners seeking such a redaction could appeal to the court.
Under the court order, the state can between Wednesday and Aug. 14 release the report. At the time this report was published, it was not clear if any members of the clergy had filed challenges to have their names removed from the report.
