A local bishop is being asked to travel to Columbus to testify in support of a bill that would protect children who have been abused by sexual predators. On Monday, two women claiming to be abused by priests when they were younger traveled to the Steubenville Diocese in hopes of meeting with Bishop Daniel Conlin. Barbara Blaine and Claudia Vercellotti are two practicing Catholics that are accusing local church leaders of covering up the sex abuse scandal that has been hovering over the church.
