Baltimore Archbishop William Lori sent a response to 11 News Thursday evening, saying: "As you may be aware, the Maryland Office of the Attorney General filed a motion in court today seeking permission to publicly release a report on his office's four-year investigation of the archdiocese's handling of child sexual abuse allegations dating back to the 1940s. The information contained in the motion will no doubt be a source of renewed pain for many, most especially those harmed by representatives of the church, for the lay faithful of our archdiocese, as well as for many good priests, deacons and religious. Ever-aware of the pain endured by survivors of child sexual abuse, I once again offer my sincere apologies to the victim-survivors who were harmed by a minister of the church and who were harmed by those who failed to protect them, who failed to respond to them with care and compassion and who failed to hold abusers accountable for their sinful and criminal behavior. "I will continue to apologize as long as there are people in pain, and pledge to continue to do everything possible to ensure that no one in the church's care is ever again harmed by a representative of the church!
