Incidents of Abuse in The Clergy

There have been numerous stories in the media in recent years covering incidents of sexual abuse of children of varying ages by clergy. Information has been uncovered showing that members of the church hierarchy were aware of the complaints from abused children or their families. Yet they allowed these predators to continue to have contact with children and congregants even after multiple reports were received, and made little to no effort to prevent future abuses. As a result of the numerous legal suits that have been filed and the resulting pressure from the public to see changes, a more stringent screening of applicants for the priesthood and a procedure for handling reports of abuse has been adopted by the church.
