#Rome: Bishops Can Now Report Sex Abuse To The Police, Says Vatican

By Amechi Idumuebor (AGENDAWATCHDOG) — The Vatican told bishops around the world on Thursday they should report cases of clergy sex crimes to police even when not legally bound to do so, in its latest effort to compel church leaders to protect minors from predator priests.

The Vatican issued a long-awaited manual for bishops and religious superiors on conducting in-house investigations into allegations of priests who rape and molest minors and vulnerable adults.

While the Vatican has had detailed canonical norms in place for two decades, the laws continue to be ignored by some bishops, particularly in the developing world and even Catholic strongholds like Poland.

Although the manual doesn’t have the force of a new law, it goes beyond the current Vatican policy about cooperating with law enforcement agencies, prosecutors and police. That policy requires bishops and religious superiors to report allegations of sex crimes with minors only where local laws require it.

I was just looking for this info for a while. After
six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your
web site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this kind of
informative sites in top of the list. Usually
the top websites are full of garbage.
