| Summary: | Es geht um die Frage, welche Möglichkeiten ein Bischof hat, um gegen einen Priester seiner Jurisdiktion vorzugehen, der sich vor längerer Zeit eines sexuellen Kindsmissbrauchs schuldig gemacht hat The question arises now and then as to whether or not ( and to what extent) a bishoP may apply the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People to a clenc who allegedly committed an act of sexual abuse in the distant past. It happens, for instance, that an alleged act was committed with a minor over the age of sixteen at a time when the applicable ecclesiastical law set the minimum age at sixteen for the act to constitute an ecclesiastical crime. Besides that, the cleric sometimes was not yet ordained when the act was supposed to have occurred. May the bishop still act in such a case? If so, can he use the charter as the authority for his actions? |
