Bevilacqua's Testimony Posted Online

The Inquirer on Friday posted on the website Philly.com the full testimony of Cardinal Anthony J. Bevilacqua before a grand jury investigating sexual abuse in the local Catholic church.

The cardinal's testimony is contained there in separate documents for his appearances before the panel in 2003 and 2004.

The testimony was referred to in the grand jury's 2005 report.

Last week, prosecutors made Bevilacqua's testimony part of the public court file in the criminal case against Msgr. William J. Lynn, a top administrator who handled archdiocesean abuse cases for the cardinal.

Lynn is charged with conspiracy and child endangerment for allegedly enabling abusive priests. He has pleaded not guilty.
