this topic is responsible stewardship by
the church integrity is a very strong
feature that characterizes any person it
is the firm adherence to a code of
especially moral or artistic values
integrity can also be understood as a
brightness of character unfortunately in
the last few decades the uprightness of
clergy and religious has taken a strong
beating it is unfortunate that as in
other careers of fields of work a lack
of a brightness tarnishes the image of
the person and the organization the
larger fallout of the lack of integrity
or a brightness could be because of
various reasons in some Catholic priests
it could be because of financial
mismanagement in others it could be
because of misconduct but what has
happened is that it has had collateral
damage the entire Catholic Church has to
deal with the follies of some what is
fortunate is that this has led to a
rethink and a cleansing from the inside
the crises in the church might be viewed
as a call to today's priests to live
their vocations with a positive
integrity in writing about human
formation being the basis of all
priestly formation Pope Saint John Paul
the second stressed the need that
priests need to be men of integrity and
especially to be balanced in judgment
and behavior this message needs to be
reinforced by brother priests the
seminary formation and ongoing formation
and by bishops and major superiors
adults who had been sexually abused as
children by priests reported less trust
in the pre-student than other Catholics
female survivors reported a greater loss
of trust in their relationship with God
than did the male survivors probably
because it was a second victimization
patriarchy is a point in question
perhaps the women were more rejecting of
the male identified God than were men
what is important in recovery is the
immediate response from significant
others and authorities and this is known
to help in the recovery of those who
have been abused situation crime
prevention models have been used in
trying to work with this issue so what
does this mean screening priests for
potential high-risk behavior which is
sexual attraction to children
opportunities should be reduced for
police to be alone with children
education of protective strategies and
assertiveness training for minors would
reduce such incidents parents should be
educated trees and parishioners should
be educated about child sexual abuse
there should be an increase in formal
and informal surveillance an information
through easily accessible signs and
pamphlets should also be created priests
should avoid intimate activities with
minors and establish times for priests
minor interactions and there should be
increased security at those times there
has to be dress codes for minors and
priests and
distortions increase should be reduce to
education specific codes of conduct
which explained what behavior is
acceptable or unacceptable there are
some strategic management viewpoints
which also need to be borne in mind as a
result of the self understanding of a
mission in the world today the church
seeks to update and create new systems
and practices that will promote action
without fear of making mistakes the
clerical sex abuse crisis is a crisis
that has reduced the credibility of the
church when transparency should be the
hallmark of the mission as followers of
Jesus Christ because many things were
hidden the fact that many accuse the
Catholic Church today of negligence is
disturbing the church must do everything
possible to protect its young and
vulnerable members and the focus should
not be on fear or disgrace but rather on
the church's mission to serve with
integrity and justice therefore there
are ways forward an aspect of the
stewardship of prevention is the
selection and presentation of candidates
for mission to the bishop for major
superiors many demand that the process
be more open to the input of lay people
in the community it is evident that for
many victims being listened to and
helped psychologically and spiritually
was the beginning of a healing process
there should be a focus on society
because of the church's patriarchal
culture and there should be a most
specific focus on the area of sexuality
there should be a clear and balanced
education and training about sexuality
boundaries in the seminaries and
formation houses and ongoing formation
of priests religious
men and women and bishops the human
development of - seminarians and those
in major seminaries is something that
needs a lot of focus there has to be a
focus on overall growth that includes
the four dimensions of formation
mentioned in past Restivo bobis and raja
fundamentalist people in positions of
some authority also need to know what -
3 or 2 in terms of responses when issues
get to the media social media needs to
better be used to educate people in the
whole area of sexuality and human
relationships the one Church of Christ
should be expressed everywhere
guaranteeing all everywhere and
therefore tools procedures and criteria
need to be put in place taking into
consideration dokurobei clarity's and
miners need to be protected the church
also needs to promote reparation and
prevention in the theme of sexual abuse
the Holy Fathers called to all clergy
and religious to prepare for and open
their hearts to the immensity and the
importance of the task of safeguarding
of minors something which all clergy and
religious need to take to heart for
survivors feeling genuinely heard and
therefore valued is healing in itself
and in some cases may be the most
effective intervention a bishop or a
major superior or a counselor
psychologist or a spiritual director can
offer showing concern conveys genuine
caring and promoting a sense of safety
can help recovery the church should also
remember the sharing controller what
happens enable survivors to be active
participants in their own care rather
than as the recipients of treatment
this helps reinforce patients and
victims worth and right to personal
autonomy the Pope asks the clergy and
religious to recognize and to realize
that the damage is not done by outsiders
but by those within among us bishops and
priests and consecrated persons who have
not looked out to their vocation the
enemy is within me he calls for a just
and balanced understanding of the
demands of priestly celibacy and
chastity hiria Therese that it should be
supported by a healthy formation in
human freedom and by sound moral
doctrine candidates for the priesthood
and the religious life should nurture
and grow in that spiritual fatherhood
that should remain the basic motivation
for their generous giving to the faith
community in the example of Jesus the
Good Shepherd
