PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia prosecutors hope to take testimony from two cloistered nuns as they pursue a child-endangerment case against a Catholic church official.
They say Monsignor William Lynn lied when he told a man the nuns were keeping an eye on his alleged priest-rapist in 1997, and knew about the priest’s history.
The priest had been sent to their monastery after sex-offender treatment. Prosecutors say he was soon saying Mass — and working with altar boys — nearby.
Lynn’s lawyers object to the nuns’ depositions, calling the subject “far afield” of the charges against Lynn.
