    Former President of Australian Bishops’ Conference Dies

    Former president of Australian bishops’ conference dies unexpectedly ADELAIDE, Australia (CNS) — Retired Archbishop Philip Wilson, former president of the Australian Catholic Bishops’ Conference who served as archbishop of Adelaide for 17 years, died Jan. 17. He was 70. The Australian Catholic Bishops’ Conference said that while the archbishop had suffered a series of health problems in recent years, including cancer, his death “was unexpected.” Adelaide Archbishop Patrick O’Regan noted that while his predecessor had been charged with failing to respond adequately to allegations of child sexual abuse while a priest, he was acquitted of all charges. “A harrowing period of allegations, charges, conviction and eventually acquittal was a significant chapter on Philip’s life, but his record of supporting and advocating on behalf of victims and survivors is part of his legacy,” Archbishop O’Regan said. “Philip knew what pain many people had endured and suffered as a result of the sickening actions of some within the church. He was part of the solution, and widely recognized as such.” In July 2018, Archbishop Wilson resigned as archbishop of Adelaide Archdiocese after being convicted of failing to report allegations of child sexual abuse by a priest in the 1970s. Although he maintained his innocence and appealed the ruling, Archbishop Wilson said at the time that “there is just too much pain and distress being caused by my maintaining the office of archbishop of Adelaide, especially to the victims of Father (James) Fletcher.” In December 2018, an appeals court overturned his conviction. He served as bishop of Wollongong from 1996 to 2001, and, after his death Wollongong Bishop Brian Mascord asked for prayers “for Philip, the Wilson family and the Archdiocese of Adelaide at this very sad time.” Sydney Archbishop Anthony Fisher recalled Archbishop Wilson’s “paternal” care of the other bishops when he was president of the bishops’ conference.

  • How the Catholic Church Sexual Abuse Crisis Changed Private Law

    How the Catholic Church Sexual Abuse Crisis Changed Private Law

    CARDINAL SINS: HOW THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SEXUAL ABUSE CRISIS CHANGED PRIVATE LAW MAYO MORAN* ABSTRACT For several decades now, the unfolding of the Catholic Church sexual abuse crisis has been front-page news. It has wreaked havoc on hundreds of thousands of lives, cost the Church billions of dollars, and done irreparable harm to a once-revered institution. Along the way, it has also helped to transform the all- important private law of responsibility. When the crisis began to break in the early 1980s, the few survivors who sought legal redress faced a daunting array of obstacles. Limitations periods alone had the effect of barring almost all child sexual abuse claims. Immunities also helped to shield the Church. Private law itself was generally hostile to institutional liability, particularly where the harm resulted from the criminal act of an individual. All of that has changed. Among the catalysts for change within private law, the Catholic Church sex abuse crisis looms large. The scale of the crisis and the universal nature of the Church were certainly both important factors, but so too was the Church's response. From the initial impulse to cover up instances of abuse to choices made in the legal and political arenas, it appeared willing to do almost anything to protect itself. Yet the Church had traditionally bene®ted from special treatment precisely on the ground that it was not an ordinary, self-interested legal actor. The tension between the Church's mission and its approach to covering up abuse began to attract notice. Courts and legislators were prompted to act.

  • Fighting for Reproductive Rights and Access to Abortion

    Fighting for Reproductive Rights and Access to Abortion

    FIGHTING FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AND ACCESS TO ABORTION In the past decade, state and federal attacks on reproductive rights have increased significantly. Despite this, Democratic Attorneys General (AGs) have countered these destructive laws and policies by fighting back in the courts. Roe v. Wade guarantees the right to safe and legal abortions. To ensure that that fundamental right is preserved, Democratic AGs have repeatedly supported efforts to protect meaningful access to abortion and safe reproductive healthcare. A recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist polli shows that 77 percent of Americans support preserving Roe. In fact, 53 percent of Americans say they would “definitely not” vote for a candidate who would appoint Supreme Court justices who would limit or overturn Roe. Even with a partisan divide, additional polling shows that 50 percent of Republicans do not want to see Roe overturned. Standing aligned with the majority of Americans, Democratic AGs are fighting to preserve access to reproductive healthcare and safe abortions. Below are a few highlights of the actions Democratic AGs have taken on reproductive rights and abortion access: Protecting Abortion Access and Autonomy ✓ A coalition of 20 AGs led by New York Attorney General Letitia James stopped efforts by the Trump Administration to allow healthcare providers the ability to refuse lawful medical care to patients based on religious or moral grounds.ii Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson secured a similar ruling to block the Trump Administration’s “conscience rule.” Injunctive relief from these two suits are currently providing patients across the country protections from discriminatory practices.iii California Attorney General Xavier Becerra has also brought a separate suit against the Trump Administration on this issue and has sought a preliminary injunction against the rule.iv ✓ A coalition of 16 AGs led by Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul filed an amicus brief in Whole Woman’s Health Alliance v.
