Vatican reins in bishops with voluntary abuse policy
The Vatican asked bishops to revise their diocesan abuse crackdown, leaving the plan voluntary for now. Dioceses across the United States show varied compliance, with some delaying removals until Vatican approval and others exceeding requirements by disciplining abusers and sanctioning nonreporters. Voice of the Faithful criticized the approach as a line item veto while Bishop Wilton Gregory urged continued adherence to the plan.

Vatican policy on abuse awaits final papal word
Guilt upheld until Vatican accepts final draft next month may blur discipline rules. Bishops say most comply, with lay review boards and written policies, yet 18 of 195 U S dioceses reportedly ignore the policy. Some priests face removal delays pending Holy See guidance amid decades-old claims.
