@navi_tavi @girlhasnoname9 @washingtonpost By saying nothing, Providence Bishop Tobin implies his agreement. He’s had 4 days to respond to this statement-silence. Friday Bucci declared all the legislators including the Governor excommunicated on the radio....Tobin’s silence is deafening!

@TomIannitti@kathyprojo I was abused at Sacred Heart as a child. There were 3 other child abusive priests there besides Msgr DeAngelis. My sister and I worked on increasing the Statute of Limitations for childhood sexual abuse bill which was made into law in July. This is more against that notoriety.
HAPPENING NOW: Governor @GovRaimondo ceremonially signs legislation championed by @repmcentee33 that extends the state’s civil statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse from 7 to 35 years.
Thank you to @GovRaimondo and to all those who attended today’s ceremonial bill signing. This ceremonial signing united survivors and legislators to celebrate the passage of the bill and reignite the importance of this issue. #ThankYouRI
It can take decades for victims of sexual abuse to not only come to terms with what happened to them, but also to name their abuser and seek justice. Today, I am proud to sign a bill that gives survivors the time they need to take action.
Here to watch history -- @repmcentee33, with her sister Dr. Ann Hagan Webb, a victim of clergy abuse and Jim Scanlon. Hugs and applause for them as things get started.
BREAKING: The RI General Assembly has passed legislation to extend the civil statute of limitations for childhood sex abuse to 35 years, sending it to @GovRaimondo's desk. https://t.co/lY1Ds2tyEf
Rep. Carol Hagan McEntee and the “survivor” - in whose name she introduced the childhood sex-abuse statute of limitations bill that cleared GA today: her sister Ann Hagan Webb
@TedNesi Resign Bishop Tobin, or do the unthinkable-reveal the names of all the accused priests in your files, and begin to treat victims who come forward with compassion not animus.
