Los Angeles - Six Catholic dioceses in the United States rolled out a "compensation programme" Tuesday as an alternative to court proceedings for minors sexually abused by clergy.
"We are joining with five other dioceses in California in a new initiative to provide pastoral care and financial support to any person who has been sexually abused as a minor by a diocesan priest," Gomez wrote. According to California church officials, the program will be open to anybody who was abused by a priest as a minor, including people residing in the US illegally and those for whom the statute of limitations to prosecute their abuser has expired.
