Two powerful groups lined the halls of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building on Oct. 17.
One group included people who identify as victims or survivors of Catholic priest sex abuse.
The other group represented the Catholic church and its insurance companies, which could have been on the hook for millions in reparations to such victims.
The victims and survivors argued for a bill that would let people sue the Catholic church over decades of abuses that were covered up.
The lobbyists argued that the bill was unconstitutional, and that the church could be left bankrupt, unable to help the community.
