BRIDGEPORT -- Even as the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport moves to comply with a court order to make public thousands of documents detailing abuse by its priests since the 1960s, it is fighting an order to turn over information in an unresolved lawsuit alleging that priests at a Trumbull church abused children.
In a recent motion filed in Waterbury Superior Court, the diocese asks to block release of information about priests at St. Theresa's Parish dating to the 1970s.
The motion was made in a lawsuit filed against the diocese by Michael Powel, who claimed he was abused by the Rev. Joseph Gorecki in 1971 at the church. Gorecki died in 1988 and Powel died of cancer last year, but the case is still being pressed by Powel's cousin, Margaret Jensen, the administrator of his estate.
In their motion, the lawyers for the diocese state they have collected 126 boxes of documents regarding abuse by priests at the Trumbull church. The motion states the diocese has now identified eight priests who have been accused in 32 claims of abuse at St. Theresa's Parish.”

“Amazing! Between ticket and hotel, they're talking almost a grand...an­d the rooms are almost all gone????? Who in their right mind would want to attend this???? Guess there are more nuts out there than we thought!!!!!”

“Should be a great show! Can't wait to watch! Really like both Obama AND Oprah!”

“Yes, Indeed! That explains it!”

“Well said and very plainly explained! Thank you! You are so right! Just wish more people understood this!”

“If we had, the outcome of the election may indeed have been different!”

“We ALL need a strong public option!

“About the ONLY reason to read a majority of the articles on Palin is for the laugh factor...r­eally good comedy is hard to pass up!”

“McCain's info is not right. Suggest you do some checking before you jump to unsubstantiated info.”

“As I've said before...a­bout the ONLY reason to read a majority of the articles on Palin is for the laugh factor...r­eally good comedy is hard to pass up!”

“Wonder, then, if he'll stand in solidarity with those he represents and sign this!

“Gee...I wonder if he has cut up his Medicare card!”

“How right you are!

For me, anyway, I do not see her representing most women - most of us have her figured out and do not like how she has used her children, her willingness to twist the truth, and her obvious craving of having the spotlight turned only on herself...­.regardles­s of the fact that she truly has nothing to say.

As I've said before...a­bout the ONLY reason to read a majority of the articles on Palin is for the laugh factor...r­eally good comedy is hard to pass up!”

“mitsie, here's a petition for you!

Spread the word!”

“Did you really expect them to share this truth? Anything to color the picture!

Great point, Loki!”

“The only reason to read any of these Palin articles is for a good laugh!”

“Greedy, isn't he? 'If I don't get what I want, I'll hold you all hostage!' is basically what he's saying. Apparently, what is good for the American people does not matter to Big Pharma!”

“Got to admire a man who stands up for what is right...re­gardless of what it may cost him. He knows that he's there to represent his constituen­ts...and has not let them down!

I do not think he'll have a problem getting re-elected­...he is actually doing the job he was elected to do! Great job, Sir!”

“I may be dating myself here....bu­t I remember this - and I also remember thinking, after reading all the articles, that Dorgan was right! If people didn't listen to him before, they sure should now!”

“Bingo! Well said!”

“Oh so agree!!! Thanks for sharing the point!”

“I beg to differ...a­nd YOU should not assume! I certainly did NOT vote for him after he became an independent! I stopped voting for him long before that!”

“My family and children are all in CT. I was born and raised there - And I do not like what Lieberman has become. It is unconsienable what he is doing! This effects my children more than the rest of my family as they are struggling­...and not just with health care costs, but that is a very big deal! One has no insurance at all because he cannot afford it and support himself as well. I pray that CT residents will let him know in no uncertain terms that they will vote him OUT if he persists in opposing this much needed reform!!!”
