The annual report on the implementation of the U.S. bishops' "Charter
for the Protection of Children and Young People" warns against
complacency in dioceses, and the firm contracted to conduct audits of
dioceses and parishes said there was "plenty of room for improvement" in
implementing two of the charter's articles.
In remarks prefacing the report, Francesco C. Cesareo, chairman of the National Review Board, the all-lay group that tracks for the bishops how dioceses address clergy sexual abuse, said this year's audit results "continue to demonstrate the progress that has been made in ensuring safe environments for children in the church."
