HARRISBURG, Pa (CBS) – Priests gathered in Montgomery County for a private meeting on Tuesday, May 17.
The meeting dealt with how the church might be confronting significant revisions to the statute of limitations.
In what the archdiocese billed as a private gathering between Archbishop Charles Chaput and scores of priests, sources inside St. Helena in Blue Bell say Chaput, the leader of the church and its 1.4 million Catholics addressed statute of limitations reform in Harrisburg.
“We’ve had so many secret meetings in secret agendas, all we are asking for is transparency,” said Karen Polesir of SNAP.
Outside the archbishop’s meeting – with police patrolling the property – protesters from victims advocacy organizations called fouls on the church over the perceived opposition to House Bill 1947.
