US state of Maryland releases 'staggering' report showing more than 150 priests sexually abused over 600 children over the past 80 years, with church officials accused of cover-ups
Boston GlobeThe nation's Catholic bishops, for the first time, then agreed on reforms including a lifetime ban from ministry for any priest who commits even a single incident of abuse.
For example, some alleged abusers were allowed to retire, with financial support, rather than be ousted. In other cases, the archdiocese did not report allegations to authorities or would not remove abusers from the ministry or restrict their access to children. Jean Hargadon Wehner said she was abused in Baltimore as a teen by a priest who served as her Catholic high school's counselor and chaplain. She said she reported her abuse to church officials in the early '90s, when her memories of the trauma finally surfaced about two decades after she was repeatedly raped.
