The sexual abuse of children and teens by rogue priests in the U.S.
Catholic Church is a heinous crime, and those who pray for a
religious community as its ministers, priests and rabbis should
never tolerate those who prey on that community. The legal disputes
of recent years have produced many scandalous headlines and fuelled
public discussion about the sexual abuse crisis within the clergy,
a crisis that has cost the U.S. Catholic Church over $3 billion. In
The Clergy Sex Abuse Crisis and the Legal Responses, two eminent
experts, James O'Reilly and Margaret Chalmers, draw on the lessons
of recent years to discern the interplay between civil damages law
and global church-based canon law. In some countries civil and
canon law, although autonomous systems of law, both form part of
the church's legal duties. In the United States, freedom of
religion issues have complicated how the state adjudicates both
cases of abuse and who can be held responsible for clerical
oversight. This book examines questions of civil and criminal
liability, issues of respondeat superior and oversight, issues with
statutes of limitations and dealing with allegations that occurred
decades ago, and how the Church's internal judicial processes
interact or clash with the civil pursuit of these cases.
