A grand jury is accusing Mgr. William Lynn of protecting two priests suspected of paedophilia, allowing them to carry on abusing their victims. One of the priests, Edward Avery, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two and half years in prison.

The other priest, Rev. David Brennan is being tried for abuse against minors carried out in the 90’s. This is the first court proceeding to be launched in the U.S. against cases of paedophilia in Catholic Church institutions.

With the involvement of a Church leader in the concealment of authors of abuse, the case threatens to broaden the legal impact of a scandal that has already cost the Catholic a great deal in terms of credibility and compensation payments.
