"The Catholic church is telling newly appointed bishops that it is “not necessarily” their duty to report accusations of clerical child abuse and that only victims or their families should make the decision to report abuse to police.The training guidelines were written by a controversial French monsignor and psychotherapist, Tony Anatrella, who serves as a consultant to the Pontifical Council for the Family. The Vatican released the guidelines – which are part of a broader training programme for newly named bishops – at a press conference earlier this month and is now seeking feedback.
Details of the Catholic church’s policy were first reported in a column by a veteran Vatican journalist, John Allen, associate editor of the Catholic news site, Cruxnow.com.
Allen noted that a special commission created by Pope Francis, the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, had appeared to play no role in the training programme, even though it is supposed to be developing “best practices” to prevent and deal with clerical abuse."

Draw your own conclusions. I have no words left for the Catholic Church.

I have many words left for the catholic church. None of which I'd be allowed to post on here without getting banned.

What the f--k?! What is wrong with the Catholic church anyways!!! I am so tired of pedifiles hiding behind an organized cult. |

Everyday another member of the most holy order of perverts and child molesters is accused of sexually assaulting innocent children.
I bet the parents of these children practically do a background check on baby sitters,and yet happily hand their kids over to a pervert because he wears a collar. Vile human beings. Hell is too good for these men.
Disgusting ghouls. The church protects and defends the criminals too!
Now we know why the Vatican needs all that gold and precious gems. For lawyers!
And yet the faithful will still drop their nickels and dimes in that collection plate. I don't get it. WTH?

If it is the law of the land they are required to report child sexual abuse. If it is not the local law then make it so. It is now a crime in Australia not to report, or to cover up, these crimes and priests and a cardinal are now serving time in gaol. It doesn't matter what the Vatican decrees.
