SOME LOCAL LEGISLATORS ARE WORRIED TONIGHT THAT MORE CASES OF SEXUAL ABUSE IN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH ARE ON THE HORIZON.

INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR THEM TO SURFACE, SOME LAWMAKERS WANT TO FACE THEM NOW.

CARL MADONNA REPORTS.


THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN PENNSYLVANIA MAY BE CLAIMING BANKRUPTCY.

THAT'S ONLY IF LAWMAKERS OPEN UP A ONE YEAR WINDOW FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE TO FILE SUIT.

THE PENNSYLVANIA CATHOLIC CONFERENCE SAYS A ONE YEAR WINDOW WOULD FORCE AN AVALANCHE OF LAWSUITS.
