On Receipt of the Safe Environment and Ministerial Standards Task Force Report and Recommendations

I have received the Safe Environment and Ministerial Standards Task Force Report and Recommendations. I am now studying the document for the purpose of developing practicable norms, structures, and procedures that will implement the Task Force’s recommendations in conformity with civil and canon law. I am grateful to the Task Force members for their thorough and detailed work, which has one overarching goal: protecting children from clergy sexual abuse.
