[statement from Bishop Zubik]
PITTSBURGH —The state grand jury investigating sexual abuse by priests has widened their probe and subpoenaed the files of the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh.
Bishop David Zubik said the diocese will work closely with the state attorney general’s office.
“We are absolutely committed to protecting children from abuse,” Zubik wrote in a statement.
In the same statement it says that the cover letter of the subpoena said, ”
Our efforts do not have to be adversarial … our work to protect children and seek the truth should be a joint endeavor.”
