Baltimore Archbishop William Lori spoke Tuesday about the efforts the Catholic diocese is making to be more transparent and hold priests and bishops accountable. "We want to make it abundantly clear today the Archdiocese of Baltimore is holding Bishops accountable to the same standards that everyone else is being held accountable," said Lori. To help rid the Catholic Church of the child sex abuse crisis, Lori described new steps of accountability here in Baltimore. “There is zero tolerance for any act of sexual abuse against a minor by a bishop, priest, deacon, lay employee or volunteer,” said Lori. He is implementing a code of conduct for bishops, adding a third-party independent review board and a reporting system; policies bishops in the U.S. had planned to vote on before the Vatican asked them to wait until a February meeting in Rome. Lori decided not to wait, saying, “But I said, you know, let's see what we can do locally. What can we do today? So I didn't need clearance. I didn't get clearance.” The Baltimore Archdiocese is preparing files of accused priests for the Maryland attorney general dating back to 1965. The move follows the release of a grand jury report of extensive child sexual abuse in Pennsylvania.“There are quite a few files to be produced and we've delivered over 50,000 pages to the Attorney General,” said Auxiliary Bishop Adam Parker, of the Archdiocese in Baltimore. “It's a significant project.”Gloria Larkin says she was first abused by priests at Archbishop Keough High School when she was 16 years old."That's when the sex abuse started and continued for the rest of my junior year and the beginning of my senior year, as well," Larkin said.Larkin said the abuse has affected her every day since."It bothers me. It hurts me. It's painful," she said.Lori said protecting church members from the same fate is the goal behind the new policies."In the past, some unhealthy individuals did become priests. They've done a lot of damage to a lot of people," Lori said.The archbishop calls on the priests to seek forgiveness. "And I would hope in their hearts they have a fear of the Lord and a sense of what they have caused in the life of so many people."Larkin said she is in continuing mediation with the church in regards to her abuse. She thinks both the church and the state can do more to protect victims."One of the first things that I would like to see is an elimination of the statute of limitations for any childhood sex abuse, by any person," Larkin said.Lori said he is moving forward and plans to continue giving updates on how the church is handling the sex abuse crisis. The Attorney General's Office has a new hotline for anyone who wants to report child sex abuse. The phone number is 410- 576-6312.
