Gulf Pine Catholic • June 21, 2024 23 Diocese of Biloxi Bulletin Board cont. from pg 2 ► St. Stanislaus College, Bay St. Louis, June 24 & 25, Baseball SCHOOL EVENTS -- Abuse reporting procedures were not consis- tently displayed at parishes and schools, or were not available in all languages in which liturgies were offered, thereby limiting the ability of non-English speakers to file complaints. -- Documented policies regarding accused clergy were lacking with regard to a presumption of inno- cence, retention of civil and canonical counsel, steps to restore a cleric’s good name in the case of an unsubstantiated allegation, or clergy transfers. -- Lack of a formal policy on communicating with the public regarding clerical sexual abuse of minors. The CARA survey included in the 2023 report showed that between July 1, 2022-June 30, 2023, reporting dioceses and eparchies paid more than $260.5 million in allegation-related costs -- 99% higher than that paid during the previous fiscal year. Of the 2023 total, 73% represented victim settle- ments, with 19% dedicated to attorney fees. Over the past 10 years, the Catholic dioceses and eparchies in the U.S. alone have paid more than $2 billion in costs regarding abuse allegations. But the cost to abuse survivors is far greater, said both Archbishop Broglio and Healy in the report. “Theirs is a lifelong journey and the mission of the church is a lifelong commitment to accompany them on this healing journey ... to minister, even to those who believe they have lost God along the way and left the church,” wrote Healy, noting that during the audit period, 183 new survivors and their fami- lies received pastoral care and 1,662 survivors and their families receive ongoing pastoral care. “I am deeply sorry for their suffering,” wrote Archbishop Broglio in his preface to the 2023 report. “These numbers are not just numbers. The statistics are the many stories and accounts of the betrayal of trust and the lifelong journey towards recovery.” The archbishop also wrote that he was “grateful” to victim survivors “for holding all of us account- able,” stressing as well the importance of countering abuse amid a landscape “in flux,” given both techno- logical and therapeutic developments. “I pray that together, we continue working toward the goal of ending the scourge of child sexu- al abuse, not only in the church but in society,” wrote Archbishop Broglio.
