The Catholic Conference, a lobbying division of the church in Pennsylvania, is apologizing after a comment it made on Facebook in response to a victim of clergy abuse.
The conference recently posted on Facebook in support of a proposed limitation to abortion.
Carolyn Fortney is a Dauphin County survivor of clergy sexual abuse. She responded to the post with, “Up next, how about statute of limitations reform?”
The Catholic Conference replied, “Why do you have to troll here Carolyn? Don’t you get enough media attention?”
That surprised Fortney.
