More committees are not the answer to stop the abuse of children and vulnerable adults by clergy, said an Aug. 28 statement by the National Review Board, which is charged with addressing clerical sexual misconduct in the Catholic Church.

Rejection of the church is rooted in (among other things) a fundamental misunderstanding of what the church has actually taught.

Bishop Patrick J. McGrath acknowledged he "erred in judgment" and said he plans to live in a rectory at one of the diocese's parishes, instead of the nearly 3,300-square-foot home planned originally.

Cardinal Wuerl “categorically denied” ever being informed that his predecessor had been sanctioned for sexual misconduct.

Bishop Richard Malone says he will not resign in wake of local media reports that he mismanaged sexual abuse complaints.
