In a continuing effort to protect children, the Catholic Church's focus is now turning to religious orders of men and women. Much of the attention had been on how dioceses and national
bishops' conferences have been responding to victims and protecting
children.
But, religious orders and congregations are sometimes left out of that picture, even though they, too, have a duty to make sure every person in their care is safe. Also, the majority of the more than 300,000 Catholic schools and orphanages around the world are run by religious brothers and sisters whose charisms are to promote human dignity and Gospel values.
