Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore – The Catholic Review
November 06, 2015
The following is an official statement released Nov. 6 by the Archdiocese of Baltimore:
Prevention, accountability, transparency and healing continue to be top priorities for the Archdiocese of Baltimore 13 years after Boston
The Archdiocese of Baltimore has made it an institutional priority to protect children in its care and restore the trust of the faithful by enacting and enforcing policies and practices that prevent future incidents of abuse, hold abusers accountable, create a culture of transparency, and promote healing for victims.
While the Archdiocese had child protection measures in place prior to the 2002 creation of the Charter for the Protection of Children & Young People, the landmark document that spells out the Catholic Church’s commitment to protecting children and young people, it has taken many additional steps since then to further strengthen the Archdiocese’s child protection efforts to create safe environments for children in our care, promote healing for victims, and to restore the trust of God’s people in the Archdiocese.
