Polish Bishops Ask Victims of Sexual Abuse for Forgiveness
“We ask God, the victims of abuse, their families and the Church community for forgiveness for all the harm done to children and young people and their relatives” – the Polish Bishops wrote in a statement published on November 19 by the Plenary Assembly of the Polish Bishops’ Conference dedicated to sexual abuse of children and youth by some members of the clergy.
The Council of Diocesan Bishops will meet on 25 August
On the eve of the Solemnity of Our Lady of Częstochowa, 25 August, the Council of Diocesan Bishops will meet at Jasna Góra, as it does every year. The bishops will discuss, among other things, the Commission of Independent Experts and the planned restructuring of the media of the Polish Bishops' Conference.
Bodies
The bodies of the Polish Bishops' Conference are divided into Commissions, Councils and Teams, either permanent or temporary, whose purpose is to assist the Conference in its work and decision-making. Members of the Commissions are bishops, including senior bishops, assisted by clergy and lay consultors; members of the Councils and Teams may also be clergy and lay people. The Presidents of the Commissions, Councils and Teams are elected for five years by the Plenary Assembly.
