** FILE ** Former Bishop Anthony Bevilacqua, right, addresses the media after Cardinal John Krol announced his retirement in Philadelphia, in this Dec. 8, 1987, file photo. According to a scathing report issued by a grand jury Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2005, leaders of the Philadelphia Archdiocese, including Cardinals Krol and Bevilacqua, concealed sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests for four decades, but no criminal charges can be brought against the church or its clergy because of the limits of state law. The report documents assaults by more than 60 priests, as well as alleges a cover up by the late Cardinal Krol, archbishop of Philadelphia from 1961-88, and his successor Cardinal Bevilacqua, who retired in 2003.
