💨 Abstract

Camden Bishop Joseph Williams announced that the diocese will no longer oppose a state grand jury investigation into clergy sexual abuse, which has been contested in court for years. This change comes after the diocese's argument before the state Supreme Court that prosecutors lacked the authority to use a grand jury to investigate private church officials. The attorney general's office welcomes this shift, but lower court orders blocking the investigation still apply.
