Encourage Church insiders to do more to expose and root out the abuse that stubbornly persists. And ultimately, rouse the Catholic Church to take a more aggressive stand against this horrific scourge. To many, the Church does more to protect the perpetrators of this pestilence than it does the victims.

As their first official act of business, these modern day saints — who risk rankling their colleagues and superiors in an institution not known for tolerating internal dissent — are taking it straight to the top. They have appealed directly to Pope Francis himself. To bring their point home with some Biblical gusto, the whistleblowers compare themselves to the poor disfigured beggar who refused to be silenced when seeking some divine intervention:.

The beggar was shunned by the apostles who attempted to silence him, to hide his hideous disfigurement from the Lord as if he might disfigure the one who created him. The beggar refused to be cast into silence for he knew his healing could only come from the dispenser of the divine mercy. Like this poor disfigured beggar we call out to you from the side of the road. Please, Pope Francis, do not pass us by. Many have experienced retaliation in some form, from defamation to stalled careers to social isolation.

We hope our preservation of their stories and photographs will raise awareness of their contributions and will help other witnesses find the courage to come forward. Read the whistleblowers' profiles. Last year, we contacted some of the whistleblowers we were researching and were stunned to learn that many were still shunned or marginalized by their fellow priests and nuns and church supervisors.

We convened a small number of whistleblowers in conference calls last fall. The group grew and soon began meeting on its own. In January, the members decided to transition from private support to public activism, articulating a mission of service to survivors, future whistleblowers, and the church.

After the latest chapter in the sexual abuse scandal in the Archdiocese of Newark, New Jersey--which saw a priest who had been ordered by the prosecutor to be kept away from children somehow end up being involved in youth ministry in another diocese--someone had to take the blame.

Myers to step down after this latest failing. And in a poll today on NJ. So guess who takes the fall? If you guessed the archbishop, you haven't been paying close attention. Instead of admitting fault and stepping aside, Myers denied that he was to blame and instead pointed the finger at his vicar general, Msgr. John Doran, who has resigned as a result. Of course, we don't really know how much Myers knew about the actions of Father Michael Fugee, nor do we know how much blame Doran actually deserves for what happened.

But Myers has come out and said there are "vulnerabilities in our own systems" and that the failings of the archdiocese need to be addressed. Yet he stops short of admitting these problems--and things like Fugee being given the position of co-director of the office of continuing education and ongoing formation of priests in the Newark archdiocese--happened on his watch. Nor does Myers' account of the shortcomings of their efforts to protect children include even a hint of an apology.

But is the former ruckman now a religious tiger who has been forced to change his stripes a little? Australia's most senior Catholic churchman had a professional Aussie Rules contract in his bag in his last year at school. But faith inexorably pulled him away, and instead the year-old country boy from Ballarat entered Melbourne's Corpus Christi Seminary in I've never regretted it, though I still marvel that I made the leap and gave it a go.

According to Anderson, the lawsuit was the first filed in Minnesota under a law approved this year by the Legislature and signed last week by Gov.

Paul, Anderson has been taking on the nation's most-respected institutions over allegations of sexual abuse of children. On Tuesday, he was focused on the Boy Scouts of America. Anderson is currently trying to convince a judge that the Boy Scouts should be held civilly liable for Peter Stibal, who is serving 14 years in prison for molesting boys.

The archdiocese admits the priest abused children, but many of the cases were outside the statute of limitations -- until last Friday, that is. Local Catholic dioceses might need some of the money they spent fighting gay marriage.

Chao Xiong of the Strib reports: The act strips away the statute of limitations that previously gave child sex-abuse victims until the age of 24 to sue. Exactly what impact it will have is unclear, but St. Paul attorney Jeff Anderson, who is representing the man, said more litigation is inevitable. The bill, signed into law by Gov.

Cardinal George Pell said this would amount to discrimination against the Australian Catholic Church. This comes after a tumultuous week in which the victims of church sex abuse heard Cardinal Pell acknowledge the church had covered up the abuse of minors, out of fear the scandal would envelope the faith.

Pell was this week, the final witness in a state government enquiry into the responses to the allegations of child sex abuse by religious and non-government institutions in the state of Victoria.

The number of Dublin priests, against whom an allegation of child sexual abuse has been recorded, has not increased in the past year. This is the first time this figure has remained static since the Archdiocese began publishing annual updates almost 8 years ago. This year, the Child Safeguarding and Protection Service CSPS will acknowledge the work of hundreds of volunteers who received training and who are responsible for implementing safeguarding procedures in a special Diocesan Safeguarding Day.

This is to recognise the crucial work carried out by these women and men in helping maintain a safe environment for children in the life of the Church in Dublin.

This voluntary group of lay and religious men and women with relevant expertise, supports guides and enhances the work of the Diocese, its parishes, offices and agencies in promoting good safeguarding practices.

Within the past 12 months the Service also began the distribution of a regular newsletter to all parishes and groups working in the Archdiocese, keeping them updated on new developments and events. The Diocesan Director for Child Safeguarding and Protection, Andrew Fagan, said they are arriving, albeit slowly, at a position where the Service has a fuller picture of what happened in the past. He said that while there has been a fall off in the number of allegations against men not previously known to them, this must not lead to complacency. The number of Dublin priests against whom an allegation of child sexual abuse has been recorded has not increased in the past year.

Here is a sampling: Michael Fugee, who was arrested and arraigned last week.

I find it morally depraved and disgusting, nothing less.

Institutions, organizations and businesses are expected to demonstrate strong leadership and communicate in a clear, concise and credible fashion when a crisis occurs. The Archdiocese in Newark has failed miserably on both counts and to date has done nothing to turn this situation around. A Spokane man has been charged with child rape and molestation in a case that has prompted Gonzaga University officials to review on-campus security measures.

A priest has been granted temporary leave of absence from the ministry, during the investigation of a child safeguarding allegation. In a statement, a diocesan spokesman said the claim relates to an incident a number of years ago. The allegation has been reported to the civil authorities, and the church said it is following procedures laid down by the National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland.

The diocesan statement added: The burden of disclosing sexual abuse by Catholic clerics and its cover-up by religious leaders has fallen almost completely on victims. Most church insiders who have witnessed misconduct have chosen not to report it. However, there have been remarkable exceptions.

By documenting this overlooked aspect of the crisis, we hope to raise awareness that whistleblowers must be protected in both the church and civil society, and help witnesses who have stayed silent to find the courage to come forward. Many of the individuals profiled below have experienced retaliation and grief in some form — defamation, job loss, career derailment, ostracization, pressure by superiors to admit to mental illness, and in at least one case, suicide.

We will be adding steadily to this list, as well as to our preliminary international list. Later this year, we also will post a list of lay whistleblowers. To suggest names in any of these categories, please email us.

THE nation's most senior Catholic has warned Victoria not to pursue legislative reform that would end the church's protection from sexual abuse victims seeking greater levels of compensation in the courts. Victims and legal groups yesterday responded angrily to George Pell's written submission to the Victorian inquiry he faced this week, describing some of his words as incredible and offensive.

Cardinal Pell cautioned inquiry members against recommending reforms that would recognise the church as a legal entity that could be sued for the actions of its priests.
