Quote:PHILADELPHIA Archbishop Charles J. Chaput apologized Saturday to victims of sexual abuse by the Catholic clergy and referred to "the negligence of the church's pastors" in allowing it to occur.
"I apologize on behalf of the church," Chaput said in his homily at a late-afternoon "Mass for Healing for Victims of Clergy Sexual Abuse," attended by some 250 people.

Quote:One of the protesters was State Rep. Mark Rozzi, a Berks County Democrat who has been trying to extend the state's statute of limitations to permit criminal prosecution of child abusers whenever their victims choose to come forward, and to provide a window for victims to file civil lawsuits, whenever the abuse occurred.
The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference, a powerful Harrisburg lobby led by Chaput, has opposed the bills, Rozzi said.
"You would think an organization that preaches taking care of its own would step up and take responsibility," Rozzi said. "The church is turning its back on victims."
Uh-huh.
