«Skal det bare \u00e9n telefosamtale til f\u00f8r en prest blir suspendert?» Slik avslutter John Allen en artikkel som omtaler behandlingen av anklager mot katolske prester i erkebisped\u00f8mmet Philadelphia. Der har kardinal Justin Rigali tydeligvis (uten at mange visste det) ikke rapportert videre anklager mot prester som man ikke har funnet troverdige eller alvorlige nok. Men n\u00e5 har nylig en domstol funnet at 37 av disse prestene har alvorlige anklager mot seg, og diskusjonen blant amerikanske biskoper raser – og de fleste er sv\u00e6rt mye strengere i sin praksis. Les Hele John Allens artikkel her<\/a>, og han avslutter den slik:<\/p>\n

…. bishop complained of a \u201clack of information\u201d from the Philadelphia archdiocese. \u201cWe have this massive grand jury report,\u201d he said, \u201cbut the responses from the archdiocese so far have been vague.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others came to Rigali\u2019s defense, suggesting there may be a \u201cbenign\u201d interpretation of choices made by the cardinal and his aides.<\/p>\n

Some of the cases in the grand jury report, one bishop said, may involve \u201cboundary issues,\u201d such as an inappropriate conversation with a minor, that do not necessarily rise to the level of sexual abuse. In those instances, the bishop said, a decision not to make a report may have been intended to resist \u201ccharter creep,\u201d meaning expanding the purview of review boards beyond their mandate, distracting them from their core purpose.<\/p>\n

Another bishop said the Philadelphia situation highlights a key bit of unfinished business: achieving a clearer definition of what precisely constitutes sexual abuse, and how it differs from other objectionable conduct.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy sense is that some review boards handle these \u2018boundary issue\u2019 cases one way, and some boards handle them another way,\u201d one bishop said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean we shouldn\u2019t take them seriously,\u201d this bishop said. \u201cWe have to move quickly to address them, but they require a different response than actual sexual abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

In general, most bishops seem hesitant to pass judgment until more facts are in. \u201cAt this point, I don\u2019t sense resentment directed at Rigali that in any way approximates what the bishops felt about Bernie Law,\u201d one prelate said, referring to the former archbishop of Boston who resigned in December 2002 amid the first wave of the American crisis.<\/p>\n

A final worry expressed by some bishops concerns the impact of the Philadelphia situation upon priests across the country.<\/p>\n

The takeaway from Philadelphia, one bishop said, is that no matter how weakly documented a charge may be, it will now automatically result in a report to the police and the review board, and suspension from ministry — meaning that in the court of public opinion, the priest will be branded an abuser.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery priest in the country is just one phone call away from disgrace and removal,\u201d the bishop said. \u201cI don\u2019t understand why nobody seems to be speaking up on this.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
