Philadelphia Archdiocese Faces New Priest-Abuse Suit
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Archdiocese of Philadelphia was hit Monday with the fourth in a series of new lawsuits that blame church officials for failing to protect children from sexually abusive priests.
The lawsuits mirror accusations made by city prosecutors in a grand jury report last month that led several priests to be charged with rape and, in a rare move, a church official to be charged with child endangerment.
Monday’s suit, filed by an Arizona man, is the second that names the late Monsignor John E. Gillespie as the abuser.
