Yep, they said that to a victim.

The lobbying arm of the Catholic Church in Pennsylvania on Wednesday accused a clergy sex abuse survivor of trolling it on social media — then apologized after a swift backlash.

The unusual exchange, since deleted, unfolded on the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference’s Facebook page. It began Tuesday evening, when the conference posted an update celebrating House passage of a bill restricting abortion.

In the comments, clergy abuse survivor Carolyn Fortney switched the subject, imploring the legislature to take up an emotionally charged bill that would allow some victims of decades-old sexual abuse to sue. She and other victims have pushed for the change since the release last summer of a grand jury report documenting child sexual abuse and its cover-up by some in the Catholic Church.

...“Why do you have to troll here Carolyn? Don’t you get enough media attention?” the unsigned post read.
