PHILADELPHIA – (AP) — Prosecutors are calling the Archdiocese of Philadelphia an “unindicted co-conspirator” in a clergy sex abuse case — and say the Catholic Church fed predators a steady supply of children.
The comment comes in a key pretrial hearing Monday before the March trial of a high-ranking church official, a priest and an ex-priest.
Monsignor William Lynn is charged with conspiring with priests and church officials to keep accused priests in ministry and parishioners in the dark.
To prove a conspiracy, prosecutors want to tell jurors about dozens of priests accused in a 2005 grand jury report. No charges were filed.
