	"Catholics 4 Change" Gives Members Say My Fox Philly March 30, 2011 http://www.myfoxphilly.com/dpp/news/local_news/Catholics_4_Change_033011 [with video] Devout Catholics are having their say when it comes to the church sex abuse scandal. The group "Catholics 4 Change" is demanding a face-to-face dialogue with church leaders. It's something they say up until now they haven't gotten. The site's founder, Susan Matthews, said she hopes the movement will keep Catholics in church by giving them a voice. A spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia reacted by saying, "Catholics 4 Change is a very positive effort. These are people who love their children and their church. It's very encouraging." Fox 29's Joyce Evans had more details in his report from Tuesday's Fox 29 News at 10. Meanwhile, a previously unreleased report shows a third grand jury looked into clergy abuse and claims of a cover-up within the Archdiocese. SNAP presented the report Tuesday. It's from 2003 and was convened then by former District Attorney Lynn Abraham. "We thought that the report that we finally issued in 2005, which incorporated many of the findings of the 2003 report that you have now, which was embargoed during the second grand jury, was enough to give the people of the church – the people who are the managers of the church, the cardinals, the bishops, the archbishops and other assorted personnel – the opportunity to do the right thing by victims and by themselves," Abraham said. Abraham says there is so much information out there on clergy abuse that a grand jury could still be hearing evidence to this day.
