The Vatican has issued a set of new instructions to its officials who are in charge of the sexual abuse cases by the Priests. The new instruction clearly states that the process should speed up. In a new case, that has come up, Priests have reportedly sexually harrased a mentally ill person the same way the children were abused.
As per the new set of instructions provided, it states that the Church can take action against the sexually abused children aged between 10 to 20. The age bar has gone up from 18 to 20 and is looking to go higher as new cases keep coming in.
The current guidelines provided to the Bishops, state that any abuse case that comes forwards should be intimated to the public authority. The internal church justice system is under pressure for the moment, as the victims family members are complaining that their accusation were ignored for a long time.
