Ten
days after the U.S. bishops met in Dallas to debate and approve a
national plan to protect children and stop clerical sex abuse, the
conference president flew to Rome.
Bishop Wilton D. Gregory of Belleville, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and a former Chicago auxiliary bishop, and Msgr. William P. Fay, general secretary of the conference, were in Rome June 25-28. The norms passed by U.S. bishops require Vatican approval before becoming binding on all U.S. dioceses.
