Bishops
act to halt abuse
DALLAS
(CNS) — The U.S. bishops June 14 voted 229-5 to adopt special
legislation for U.S. dioceses to deal swiftly and firmly with allegations
of sexual abuse of minors by clergy or other church personnel.
Vatican
approval is needed before the norms can become law for the U.S.
Catholic Church.
The
norms were the second key element in the bishops’ effort to
end any form of sex abuse by clergy. A crisis has embroiled the
church across the country since January, when major scandals were
uncovered in Boston. Shortly before adopting the norms, the bishops
overwhelmingly approved a “Charter for the Protection of Children
and Young People” establishing a national policy of responding
quickly to sex abuse victims and permanently ousting any priest
who has abused a minor from any church ministry.

Good
Stewards are helping homeless
BY DEACON
JOSEPH DWYER
Though the formal program initiating the Stewardship Way of Life
here in the Archdiocese of Newark is over, hardly a day goes by
that I am not reminded of the many ways parishes (and individual
parishioners) continue to respond in sharing their Time, their Talent
and their Treasure.
Although
most of our Stewardship examples are found within the parish “boundaries,”
ultimately we will branch out to the larger community as the Stewardship
Way of Life continues to catch fire, the fire of God’s love
for all of us.
