Victims of sexual abuse by priests in dioceses throughout Pennsylvania have been waiting years, if not decades, for the day when they could believe their stories were told and heard.

That day is now.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court set 2 p.m. as the deadline for a special master to release a grand jury report detailing decades of priests’ sexual misconduct with minors in six of Pennsylvania’s eight dioceses, including Allentown.

More than 300 “predator” priests are expected to be identified in the report, which would make it one of the largest single collections of church sex abuse worldwide.
