Two top bodies of the Catholic church in India are now busy
finalizing a policy to address sex abuse and other forms of abuse by
clergy. "A draft policy is in the final stage now. It has been circulated
among all bishops and major superiors in India," says Bishop Theodore
Mascarenhas, secretary general of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of
India.
Mascarenhas, who in July also became spokesperson for the church in India, says the standing committee, the executive body of the bishops conference, will finalize the draft at its biannual meeting Sept. 21-23 in Bangalore, southern India.
