SPRINGFIELD DIOCESE
(AP) Five people -- including a state senator, a state police sergeant and a mother -- have been named to a panel to examine the behavior of Catholic priests in the Springfield Diocese. Formation of the panel -- which now also includes a priest and a nun -- was announced three months ago by Springfield Bishop George Lucas following the beating of Monsignor Eugene Costa in a local park late last year.
