Corpus Christi Parish

In “You are the Light of the World,” Pope Francis has set forth regulations today that will lead the Catholic Church on a clearer and more honest path in responding to the problem of sexual abuse in the Church. As the Holy Father wrote, these universally-adopted procedures will be implemented quickly and effectively to “prevent and combat these crimes that betray the trust of the faithful.” I am grateful to the Holy Father for these norms, and confident they will be helpful to the Church as we move forward in addressing these challenges.
