In its efforts to squash a bill allowing victims of sexual abuse more
time to seek civil recourse, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia has
launched a campaign that some state representatives say includes lies,
misinformation and threats.
The church maintains this legislation could have devastating”impacts on parishes and services as it encourages parishioners to lobby against HB 1947, extending the time an abuse victim can file a civil suit from when they turn 30 years old to 50 years old and removing immunity for organizations found to be grossly negligent.
