Commentary: This grave injustice cries out for legislative remedies, especially since church officials have proven that they will not police themselves.

9,000 pages of abuse related records. Church officials agreed to tighten the way they monitored and reported abusers and five years of unprecedented state oversight of diocesan abuse dealings, including annual audits of their personnel records.

For instance, Raoul makes the vague recommendation that bishops should “improve child sex abuse allegation intake procedures” and ensure that such staff are “adequately trained.” But prelates have been dealing with abuse reports for ages and have specifically had such personnel in place for at least two decades. If in 2023, these employees are inadequately prepared for these sensitive positions, it’s likely not because a bishop has never given training a thought.
