Baltimore creates abuse reporting system – for bishops

The Archdiocese of Baltimore has introduced a third-party system for reporting allegations of abuse or misconduct against its archbishop and other bishops serving in the archdiocese. “I pray this step and our continued commitment to child protection will send a clear message to the faithful of this local Church that abuse of any kind will not be tolerated and that those in positions of authority, namely bishops, will be held accountable for keeping the Church safe, especially for children and others who may be vulnerable,” said Baltimore’s Archbishop William Lori.
