Jesuit Father Hans Zollner, president of the Center
for Child Protection at the Gregorian University, believes that the
church's typical top-down approach in handling sex-abuse allegations may
not be enough. He proposes a global alliance comprised by individual
priests, religious and laity along with Catholic universities, religious
orders and bishops' conferences.
ROME - Some parts of the world see swift attention paid to victims of
sexual abuse and others still experience delays or a mishandling of
allegations.
