A Pennsylvania judge has ruled a lawsuit can move forward against the Catholic Diocese of
Pittsburgh.
The suit by parents and survivors of sexual abuse by clergy members claims the diocese became a public nuisance because they didn’t fulfill obligations under state law to report abusers.
It was originally filed in September of 2018 against each diocese in the state.
