State still without clergy-reporting law
Albany, New York --
When Catholic Cardinal Edward Egan visited Albany a few years ago, he was pelted with questions from the media about pedophile priests.
It was the height of the sex-abuse scandal that has rocked both the Catholic Church and its faithful.
Three years after that visit, state lawmakers in Albany continue to work on legislation that would require clergy members to report incidents of sex abuse to civil authorities.
There was no talk of the priest scandals when New York's Catholic Conference came to the state Capitol last week to push its legislative agenda. Instead, talk focused on the crisis facing Catholic schools statewide.
