9 Dear Members of the Catholic Movements and Associations of Canada, Further to recent news regarding the grievous sin, crime, and scandal of the sexual abuse of minors by clergy and associated cover-ups in the United States and elsewhere in the world, the Executive Committee of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) has published the following statement. The CCCB statement is issued in communion with the Holy Father and his Letter to the People of God, and in reference likewise to a recent joint statement by the President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Statement by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops on the findings of the Pennsylvania Investigating Grand Jury Chers members des mouvements et associations catholiques du Canada, À la suite des nouvelles récentes concernant le péché, le crime et le scandale des abus sexuels commis par des membres du clergé contre des personnes mineures aux États-Unis et ailleurs dans le monde, et les camouflages qui y sont liés, le Bureau de direction de la Conférence des évêques catholiques du Canada a émis la déclaration suivante. Celle-ci est publiée en communion avec le Saint-Père et sa lettre au Peuple de Dieu, et en lien avec une déclaration récente commune du Président de la USCCB. Cordialement, Kyle The CCCB is the national assembly of the Bishops of Canada. Sincerely, Kyle ~ 9 ~

10 Statement by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops on the findings of the Pennsylvania Investigating Grand Jury Catholics across our country are rightly ashamed and saddened regarding the findings of the Pennsylvania Investigating Grand Jury. With Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, we reiterate the profound sadness that we as Bishops feel each time we learn about the harm caused as a result of abuse by Church leaders of any rank. The Bishops of Canada treat with great seriousness instances of sexual abuse of minors and inappropriate conduct on the part of all pastoral workers be they fellow Bishops, other clergy, consecrated persons or laity. National guidelines for the protection of minors have been in place in Canada since 1992, which dioceses and eparchies across the country have applied in their local policies and protocols. This fall, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops will launch updated and expanded guidelines promoting the safeguarding of minors and increasing accountability and transparency within Church leadership. In communion with Pope Francis, the Bishops of Canada want victims to know that the Church is on their side. Those who suffer are the Church s priority, and the Church wants to listen to them and to learn from them. The Catholic Bishops of Canada understand well how much these crimes can shake the faith and the spirit of believers. We hope and pray that the Catholic faithful will assist all of us in every way to create safe and respectful environments for everyone, especially minors and vulnerable adults in the Church and in all of society.
