    Report shows ‘tragic incompetence’ on McCarrick, Barron says

    • Nov 14, 2020

    • Apr 19, 2020

    ROME -Today marks Day 42 without public Mass here in Italy, part of a nationwide coronavirus quarantine.

    Top anti-abuse expert says ‘paternalistic’ attitude is worse than clericalism

    • Mar 13, 2020

    One of the Catholic Church’s leading experts in child protection has said that more dangerous than clericalism in the clerical abuse crisis is a “paternalistic” attitude within the Church that both devalues laypeople and puts clergy on a pedestal.
