Though a judge has cleared the way for the release of a key court document involving the grand jury report on Catholic clergy sexual abuse in Pennsylvania, the state’s highest court on Friday closed for the day without making it public and without explaining why.
The document was written by the state Attorney General’s Office, which led a nearly two-year grand jury investigation of abuse allegations by Catholic clergy in nearly every diocese in the state. It is expected to reveal new details of what is contained in the more than 800-page report the grand jury produced, portions of which lawyers for current and former clergy members are attempting to block on grounds that they are inaccurate or unfair.
