The Vatican's new norms
NCR
Jul. 16, 2010
By Thomas Doyle
The latest attempt by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to stem the continuous onslaught of revelations of sex abuse and cover-up in Europe and elsewhere has some good and some bad aspects.
The first revision is relatively radical: the CDF now has the right to judge members of the ruling class (cardinals, bishops, and papal legates). Previously the Code reserved all cases involving accusations of violation of the church's criminal laws by bishops and above to the Pope. This change is a response to the constant criticism of the practice of giving bishops accused of sex abuse a free pass. The fact is that the popes could have disciplined errant bishops all along but instead chose to hide behind the myth that they are some sort of sacred nobility.
The norms list several canonical crimes that are subject to the CDF. There is a serious gap in this list: failure to properly and responsibly respond to report of sex abuse by clerics. This would obviously nail the majority of U.S. bishops, both retired and active. This crime is just as devastating as the sex abuse itself because it obviously enables continued rape and molestation of innocent children and adults. The bishops' systemic practice of cover-up and dishonesty, which should be a crime, is also a gross insult to all lay persons and not just victims and their families. Why? Because it reveals a clear disdain for the non-ordained and a concept of justice that is clearly subjective and therefore self-destructive.
One of the better points which is probably lost on those not savvy to canon law-speak is number 4, the faculty to sanate the acts in cases with procedural errors from lower tribunals. This means that when a case from a diocesan tribunal undergoes the mandatory review at the CDF, procedural errors that did not violate the right of defense will be retroactively corrected. This is important because it potentially eliminates the practice of vacating cases that had procedural errors.
Rising the statute of limitations to 20 years after majority is only a slight improvement but is still very short of what should have been done. The defenders of the church repeatedly try to mitigate the serious nature of most of the victims coming forward, referring to them as "old cases." This is a meaningless categorization but worse, it is a cruel and insensitive label for those who were molested and abused years ago. The constant pain from physical, emotional and spiritual abuse does not disappear over time. It remains and in most cases gets worse. Most child victims hold back for 30 years before finding the courage to take the risk of disclosing their abuse. They are imprisoned and paralyzed by guilt, shame, fear and an unwillingness to re-open the deep wounds. Clergy victims suffer from an added layer of fear imposed by the church itself through its heretical teaching that clerics are somehow superior to lay people and so sacred that they are entitled to exemption from accountability. The better revision would have been to extend the period to 40 years past majority. The best revision would have been total elimination of the statute. The whining of the lawyers and others that this makes trying cases difficult is nonsense. The statute is actually a presumption in favor of the criminal abuser. The statute of limitations should not evaluate evidence. That's the tribunal's job.
The cloak of secrecy hasn't been removed. Fr. Lombardi claims that secrecy is maintained "in order to safeguard the dignity of all the people involved." This of course, is a lame excuse for the Vatican's obsession with image. Historically totalitarian regimes dispense their peculiar version of justice behind closed doors. In the church's case, closed hearings would be acceptable but as it stands now, tribunal cases in the U.S. are generally buried so deep that even the victims are stonewalled about the case. If Fr. Lombardi's rationale reflects official policy then it seems that everybody's dignity is respected except that of the victims.
The eighth revision is a potential for disaster. This one gives the local bishops the power to proceed judicially against people whom they suspect of heresy, apostasy or schism. The potential for misuse of this norm and the consequent denial of due process and the right of free expression to people the bishops decide don't think like them is terrifying.
The official revisions to the 2001 document issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith are an improvement even though they are far too late in coming and lacking in some significant provisions.
Fr. Lombardi's accompanying explanation is remarkable for one reason only: he openly admits that public outcry, which obviously includes secular media coverage, actually had an impact on the pope and other Vatican officials. This is remarkable in light of the usual practice of either accusing the media of being anti-Catholic any time they criticized the church or dismissing them outright as being irrelevant. The problem with his admission is that the media and the public should have been listened to 25 years ago instead of ignored.
The main problem with the Vatican's latest attempt at damage control is that they continue to deny the fundamental issue: the nature of the clericalized monarchical structure of the institutional church and its role in the systematic dismantling of the reality of church as People of God.

Judge adjourns case of man who believes his sister died in Tuam
Irish Times
Peter Mulryan seeks Tusla records to see if his baby sister died at Bon Secours home
An application by a man seeking information about his infant sister, who is believed to have died in the Tuam Mother and Baby Home, has been adjourned at the High Court for a further week.
Peter Mulryan (73), of Derrymullen, Ballinasloe, Co Galway, whose sister Marian Bridget Mulryan is believed to be among 796 children recorded as having died at the home, has initiated proceedings against Tusla aimed at getting any information that may exist about her.
A Marian Bridget Mulryan is recorded as having died in February 1955, nine months after she was born at the home.
Mr Mulryan went to the Tuam home with his mother just days after his birth in July 1944. His mother later appeared to have gone to a Magdalene institution and he was fostered out at the age of four.
Mr Mulryan, represented by Deirdre O’Donohoe BL, is arguing that the records are unreliable and he wants Tusla to carry out a forensic examination of material concerning the home to establish what happened to his sister.
Records
Tusla has said it has given Mr Mulryan any material it is aware of and has also made the records held by it available to the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes. The commission recently confirmed “significant” amounts of human remains were found on the site of the Tuam home.
The matter has been before Mr Justice Richard Humphreys a number of times and adjourned for reasons including a direction from the judge to Tusla to write to the Bon Secours order, which operated the home, asking if it held any burial records.
In a reply to Tusla, the order said it was unaware of any burial records being maintained and also said any information held by it concerning the Tuam home had been passed to the commission.
On Monday, Tusla, represented by Mary Phelan BL, reiterated that it would facilitate an inspection by Mr Mulryan of the material in its possession, including documents scanned by the commission.
The judge said he was considering how best to proceed, including whether there should be a “telescoped” hearing where the application for leave for the judicial review would be merged into a full hearing.
He again adjourned the matter to allow Mr Mulryan’s side to consider if they wished to make amendments to the statement of grounds.
RTÉ
A solicitor for an elderly man, who is "extremely ill" with cancer, has asked the High Court to help him find out what happened to his baby sister after she was born at St Mary's mother and baby home in Tuam.
Marian Bridget Mulryan is believed to be among almost 800 children recorded as having died at the home between 1925 - 1961.
Her brother, Peter Mulryan is extremely anxious to get whatever records exist concerning her, the court heard.

Her brother, Peter Mulryan is extremely anxious to get whatever records exist concerning her, the court heard.
Mr Mulryan, 73, was too unwell to come to court, but his solicitor Kevin Higgins said he wanted Tusla to look at the material it had and see what happened to the little girl.
Mr Higgins said he wanted to know "did she die, was she trafficked or is she buried in the pit."
Mr Mulryan wants permission from the High Court to bring a legal challenge against Tusla, aimed at getting information from them about his sister.
The court heard she was recorded as having died in February 1955, nine months after her birth at the home.
Tusla said it had given Mr Mulryan any information it was aware of.
And it said it would facilitate inspection by Mr Mulryan of the material in its possession.
But Mr Higgins said Mr Mulryan was too unwell to inspect the material offered, the inspection offers were inadequate and the material held by Tusla should be forensically examined and catalogued with any relevant information given to his client.
The application has been adjourned a number of times to clarify exactly what orders were being sought on behalf of Mr Mulryan.
Mr Justice Richard Humphreys said the legal grounds for the challenge were "a bit thin".
The case was adjourned for a week to allow Mr Higgins to prepare further documents.

"je kunt er ook met de wet in de hand
Domme, ongelooflijk domme, domme nonnen!
Als jullie alleen al 's wat beter op je taalgebruik hadden gelet

´t zou wel ´s een miljardenbesparing kunnen zijn.
Welke aanbeveling in ieder geval met onmiddeijke ingang weer ´n kalasnikov heeft uitgespaard!
Alle beetjes helpen, niewaor?
oh uh ennuh, mijnheer de voorzitter, durf het haast niet te vragen, maar uh mocht dit voorstel het halen mag ik dan aub dank u wel de eerste zijn die de onwaarschijnlijke randidioot die voorlichters op ministeries traint opdat burgers hun recht op informatie kunnen gebruiken een verschrikkelijke draai om zijn oren te geven?
Dank u.

orgaanvleesprijs schiet de pan uit 800.000 Westmark pro Studie Systematische Tests: West-Pharmafirmen betrieben Menschenversuche in der DDR
ARTICLE QUATRIEME:
NOMBRE DE MALADES
Sa Majesté s'engage envers les Soeurs à mettre en tout temps
pendant la durée de ce contrat, sous le soin des Soeurs au moins mille
malades (1000).
Mehrere Testreihen führten zu Todesfällen und mussten abgebrochen werden. Das geht aus bislang unbekannten Akten des DDR-Gesundheitsministeriums, der Stasi und des Instituts für Arzneimittelwesen hervor, die dem SPIEGEL vorliegen.
Die Hersteller boten bis zu 800.000 Westmark pro Studie an. Manager der West-Berliner Schering AG (heute Teil von Bayer) offerierten der Charité sogar ein Testvolumen von jährlich sechs Millionen D-Mark.
Führende Mediziner an der Charité waren sich laut Gesprächsprotokollen der Motive der Konzerne bewusst. So habe etwa Schering im Westen wohl "generelle ethische Probleme: der Mensch als Versuchskaninchen", sagte damals ein zuständiger Arzt der Charité. Die DDR riskiere, wegen der Tests als "Billigland" und "günstige Teststrecke" bekannt zu werden.
Patienten wurden über Risiken und Nebenwirkungen oft im Unklaren gelassen. Noch im März 1989 erklärte sich Hoechst (heute Teil von Sanofi) laut Sitzungsprotokoll einverstanden, "dass der Aufklärungstext beim Prüfer verbleibt und nicht dem Patienten ausgehändigt wird". Weiter heißt es: "Die Einwilligung des Patienten wird durch Unterschrift des behandelnden Arztes und eines Zeugen" dokumentiert. Die betroffenen Unternehmen weisen darauf hin, dass die Vorgänge weit zurückliegen. Sie betonen, dass klinische Tests prinzipiell nach strengen Vorschriften erfolgten. Der Verband Forschender Arzneimittelhersteller sieht "bisher keine Verdachtsmomente, dass irgendetwas faul gewesen wäre".
