Pope creates tribunal on bishops abuse accountability plan
Pope Francis approves a five point system to judge bishops who fail to protect children from abusers. The plan emerged from the special sex abuse commission and aims to hold bishops accountable, with victims' advocates cautious but hopeful about real consequences for wrongdoers. A Minnesota test case involves charges against the Archdiocese of St Paul and Minneapolis over alleged failure to protect children. Archbishop John Nienstedt faces scrutiny for past actions.
