Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams, whose office appealed the Superior Court ruling, released a statement applauding the Supreme Court decision.
Williams thanked the "brave victims who testified in court and their families for supporting them. Today's announcement sends the clear message that if anyone - priest, layperson, citizen, police officer or elected official - knowingly puts children at risk of being sexually molested, they will be held accountable."
The decision was also celebrated by advocates for clergy sex-abuse victims.
"It is a victory for parents, parishioners, churchgoers, wounded victims and innocent kids each time corrupt church staffers are disciplined," said David Clohessy, director of the St. Louis-based SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
Marci A. Hamilton, a Philadelphia-area lawyer who has sued the Catholic church on behalf of victims of clergy sex-abuse, praised the District Attorney's office and called the Lynn case "the most significant criminal prosecution of any Catholic official for the endangerment of numerous children in an Archdiocese."
