AP-Bishops-Abuse
Proposed policy just short of zero tolerance
-- America's Roman Catholic bishops will vote today
on a new sex abuse policy that bars abusers from parish work -- but
falls just short of zero tolerance.
Under the draft policy, priests who molested children in the
past or who do so in the future would be ousted from the
priesthood, even if it was just a single incident.
Some abusers could, however, voluntarily withdraw from active
ministry and work in a monastery or a similar restricted setting.
If approved by the bishops group meeting in Dallas, the Vatican
would have to give its O-K for it to become binding law in the
United States church.
Under the policy, bishops would have to report all claims of
sexual abuse of a minor to authorities.
The proposal also would prohibit dioceses from signing
confidentiality agreements with victims in civil lawsuits over sex
abuse -- unless the victim insists.

There will be a further delay in finding out what New Hampshire Bishop John McCormack said during his deposition earlier this month. A Massachusetts Superior Court judge had ordered the release of the transcripts, which included the testimony of other church officials. The judge had cited "legitimate public concern" in his order. But the Boston Archdiocese appealed the decision and argued it needed 30 days to examine the transcripts for errors. Today, a Massachusetts Appeals Court judge ruled in favor of the Archdiocese, saying the superior court judge who ordered the release no longer has jurisdiction in the case.
