Pope's Decree Holds Bishops Accountable For Cover-Ups And Sexual Abuse

Pope's Decree Holds Bishops Accountable For Cover-Ups And Sexual Abuse According to Reuters.com, "Pope Francis introduced sweeping changes in Catholic Church law on Thursday to hold bishops accountable for sexual abuse or covering it up, making reporting obligatory for clerics and allowing anyone to complain directly to the Vatican if needed." A papal decree was first initiated in February and it will cover both the abuse of children and adults, also obliges every Catholic diocese in the world to set up simple and accessible reporting systems and encourages local churches to involve lay experts in investigations.
