A four-bishop and Vatican-official mixed commission is formed to resolve disagreements, aiming for November action. Victims and critics push for stronger safeguards, while church leaders insist the policy remains workable with changes.

Calls for resignation grow over Irish cardinal abuse scandal
An RTE documentary cardinals and Dublin bishops ignored eight long‑standing priest abuse cases from the 1970s to the 1990s. Cardinal Desmond Connell faced pressure to resign after accusations of safeguarding offenders and a 1988 recommendation for a priest already accused. The program cited 470 lawsuits and sparked renewed government probes.
