The Catholic bishop of a New Jersey diocese says he would no longer oppose a state grand jury investigation of clergy sexual abuse that the church has been fighting behind closed doors in court for years.

Members of New Jersey’s Supreme Court sounded skeptical at times about the effort of a Catholic diocese to stop the state from empaneling a grand jury to investigate clergy sexual abuse allegations.

A deeply divided New Jersey Supreme Court has upheld the conviction of a Florida woman found guilty of killing her young son in New Jersey three decades ago.
