Curia Defends Church decision – Bishops not obliged to report sexual abuse by priests

Malta Independent Sunday, 15 August 2010, 00:00 Last update: about 17 years ago

With reference to the article with the above title (TMIS, 8 August), this is absurd and totally unacceptable.

Like any organisation, particularly one involved with minors, the Church has a duty of care. Any report of the molestation of a minor should be ipso facto a reportable matter – reportable that is to the competent authorities.

Enough is enough!
