Yesterday the message below and the two attachments were sent to approximately 700 news media personnel throughout the US 50 states.

The Catholic bishops in the United States claim a Zero Tolerance policy regarding priests and deacons who have sexually abused a minor or a vulnerable adult. Yet, Church documents show otherwise and potential victims could be at risk now.
