The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania issued a stay of proceedings Wednesday, suspending the release of a grand jury investigation regarding sexual abuse by Roman Catholic Priests.
The report was expected to run hundreds of pages long, including interviews with victims, covering six dioceses.
The stay order provides no information as to who filed the appeal for the stay, nor does it state the reasons for suspending release of the report.
In a brief statement, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who spear-headed the investigation, said, I will continue fighting tirelessly to make sure the victims of this abuse are able to tell their stories and the findings of this investigation are made public to the people of Pennsylvania."
In May, Attorney General Shapiro stated that all Dioceses supported the release of the investigation's findings and results.
Something curious and strange is afoot here.
But the story is simply too big to hide the findings of a grand jury proceeding under the carpet.
Sentiments being what they are these days, people will not allow such goings on any longer.
I shall continue to follow developments and see where all this leads.
