WASHINGTON (CNS)—The national sex abuse policy the U.S. bishops will be asked to approve in Dallas on June 13-15

Photo by John Starkey Photo by calls for laicizing any priest or deacon who commits even one act of abuse of a minor in the future. It also calls for laicizing anyone who has committed more than one abusive act in the past or who is diagnosed as a pedophile. For a one-time past offender who has been treated, it calls for stringent review by a predominantly lay diocesan review board to determine whether he can be returned to any kind of ministry. Such a review would include hearing from the victim. If the former abuser should receive any new assignment, it would be under restrictive conditions and with full disclosure “to those with whom he will live and serve.” Whenever an accusation is made in the future, if the victim is still a minor the proposal would require the diocese to report it to civil authorities, even in states where this is not required by law. It calls on dioceses to cooperate with authorities Archbishop Daniel M.

The Criterion Friday, June 7, 2002 Page 19 BISHOPS continued from page 1 CNS photo by Nancy Wiechec Nancy CNS photo by brought forward by the victim.” The 3,000-word proposal is titled “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People.” The nation’s bishops are to debate and vote on it when they meet in Dallas. To give adequate attention to the issue, they have removed almost everything else from the meeting’s agenda. The bishops are to vote separately on a shorter legal document expressing the policy canonically in binding legislation, which also must be approved by the Holy See. Indianapolis Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein said he was reviewing the proposed national policy to “see if it embodies our own four priorities in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. The first concern of any charter or policy would be to serve and protect children and minors. Second, it should call us to reach out with pastoral sensi- tivity to victims. Third, it would also outline how we can offer clear information and support for our extended Catholic community. Finally, a good policy would be sup- portive of our many dedicated priests who serve faithfully in ministry.” Archbishop Buechlein said, “My initial reaction is that the draft charter prepared for the Dallas meeting meets Archbishop Harry J. Flynn addresses the media about the U.S. bishops’ draft “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People” at these four important points. It is comprehensive, and it the bishops’ headquarters in Washington on June 4. The document calling for the protection of victims of clergy sexual abuse will go before outlines a process that is clear, strict and fair.
