Canada's bishops will face greater
accountability under new guidelines that highlight healing in cases of
sexual abuse of minors. The revised protocols are contained in a document called "On the
Protection of Minors," which will replace "From Pain to Hope," a
document developed in 1992 following the Mount Cashel Orphanage
sex-abuse scandal in Newfoundland.
"The Holy Father is demanding we be more accountable," Halifax Archbishop Anthony Mancini said Sept. 14 at the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops' (CCCB) annual plenary. "In fact some of the accountability that comes from Rome now has consequences. A few of the bishops have experienced the consequences of not doing what's being asked."
