WORCESTER— Paul Baier of Survivors First, an advocacy organization for victims of clergy sexual abuse, called yesterday for people to report bishops who have covered up sexual abuse in their dioceses.
     His call to “step forward” was made at a press conference in Boston, where he released the names of all priests in New England known to have been accused of sexual misconduct.
     The names of several Worcester diocesan priests are on the list and can be accessed at the organization’s Web site at www.survivorsfirst.org.
