Sukanya Mitra produced this film as a project for her Master’s thesis project at Boston University in 2022. We are grateful for her permission to show this important work.

The Accountability of Bishops

Bishops also will be held accountable under the authority of this Motu Proprio, which covers sexual abuse of minors or vulnerable persons, sexual acts compelled through the abuse of authority, and any coverup of such crimes.

This service has been created to gather and relay reports of sexual misconduct involving bishops of the United States and reports of their intentional interference in a sexual abuse investigation. If you wish to report any other kind of misconduct by a bishop, please contact your local diocese or eparchy instead. You may find the site here.

Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, CSsR shares his experience of accompaniment of abuse survivors.

Based on the Instruments of Hope and Healing developed by religious men’s congregations across the country, we have our own unique policies and procedures for the prevention of abuse which we implement and update every three years.
