Church not obligated to report abuse, says Polish priest
Responsibility falls to the victim, bishops' conference spokesman tells radio station. A spokesman for the Polish bishops said the Church was not
responsible for reporting cases of child abuse by priests to state
authorities. “There is no such obligation,” Father Jozef Kloch said in an interview with TOK FM radio, reported Radio Poland. “Such a victim is told they have the right to report it to prosecutors. That is the correct way,” Father Kloch said.
