The Pope's Response to Sexual Abuse - Starting to Get it Right

Pope Creates Tribunal for Bishop Negligence in Child Sexual Abuse Cases from the New York Times
"Responding to years of complaints from victims of clergy sexual abuse, the Vatican announced on Wednesday that Pope Francis had approved a plan to subject Roman Catholic bishops to judgment and discipline by a new tribunal if they are accused of covering up or failing to prevent
misconduct. The tribunal is intended to address what victims’ advocacy groups say has been, at best, decades of mishandling of sexual abuse cases involving minors by clergy, and at worst, the covering up of abuses by priests."
