Official: Saints emails on clergy crisis should stay secret

Edward Dirk Wegmann, attorney for the New Orleans Archdiocese, right, and James C. Gulotta, Jr., attorney for the New Orleans Saints, leave a hearing at Orleans Parish Civil District Court in New Orleans, Thursday, Feb. 20, 2020.  The New Orleans Saints headed to court Thursday in a bid to block the release of hundreds of confidential emails detailing the behind-the-scenes public relations work the team did for the area's Roman Catholic archdiocese amid its sexual abuse crisis. The request comes amid claims that the NFL team joined the Archdiocese of New Orleans in a “pattern and practice” of concealing sexual abuse — an allegation the Saints have vehemently denied.
