Persico, kneeling, the bishop-elect of Erie, Pa., during Persico's rite of ordination at St. Peter Cathedral in Erie, Pa. The Most Rev. Charles J. Chaput, left, archbishop of Philadelphia, served as principal consecrator during the service, and the Most Rev. Lawrence E. Brandt, center, bishop of Greensburg, Pa., served as co-consecrator with Trautman. A grand jury report released Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2018, documenting seven decades of child sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests in Pennsylvania says Trautman allowed priests to continue restricted or regular duties despite credible allegations of abuse, was dishonest to the public or other officials about the diocese's knowledge of abuse and reassigned priests with credible accusations to keep them in the ministry. Trautman and his lawyer deny the bishop ever covered up sexual abuse by priests. (Christopher Millette/Erie Times-News via AP, File)

Harrisburg, EE. UU. Sacerdotes católicos del estado de Pensilvania emplearon rituales religiosos, símbolos de la fe y la amenaza de una eternidad en el infierno con el fin de tocar, abusar y violar a menores, según un reporte de un jurado investigador divulgado el jueves, una conducta que el principal fiscal del estado calificó de “armamentización de la fe”.

Los “sacerdotes pederastas” emplearon la propia fe de las víctimas y su confianza en ellos como líderes religiosos para abusar de ellos y silenciarlos, según detalló un informe de 884 páginas sobre la investigación estatal.
