“We wanted to come here today on behalf of survivors…who are committed to fighting for justice and to also highlight what’s not being talked about when they’re focused on the Eucharist,” said Sarah Pearson, in black coat, who is a sex abuse survivor from Wisconsin who joined other members of the organization Ending Clergy Abuse in addressing bishops.

NOVEMBER 16, 2021: On the first of two days of public sessions during the U.S. bishops’ fall general assembly, a group of sex abuse survivors in a Nov. 16 news conference, called on the prelates meeting in Baltimore to focus less on who can take Communion and instead do more to end sex abuse and other abuses by clergy.

FRENCH CLERICAL ABUSE REPORT PUTS SPOTLIGHT ON CONFESSION
|
|
|
NOVEMBER 7, 2021: The absolute secrecy of confession is central to the Roman Catholic faith. What is said in confession is between a penitent and God, the priest a mediator. Any priest who breaks that seal can face excommunication under church laws that the Vatican places above all others. In cases, the secrecy around the sacrament had been used to cover up abuse cases, again raising issues of whether church or state law should prevail. What happens then when what is confessed is a violation of the laws of the state? What justice shall prevail?

(The Parliament of New South Wales is a bicameral legislature in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW). The new Civil Liability Amendment (Child Abuse) Bill gives NSW courts the power to set aside unfair settlement agreements for abuse so survivors can bring a civil claim for fairer compensation.
‘We are righting the wrongs of the past to ensure survivors can access the civil justice they deserve and be properly compensated for the appalling mistreatment they suffered as children,’ Attorney General Mark Speakman said.
