In a box of old reporting notes the other day, I found a manila file folder. It contains the words of a dead man. Words that should help Pennsylvania's state senators gauge any pity they may feel for the pocketbook of the Catholic Church in the admittedly tense days ahead.
The folder is labeled, in all-caps Sharpie scrawl, BEVILACQ. INTVWS. Its contents should eliminate any doubt about senators changing state law so that abuse victims can sue the institution.
