- Clear explanation of the Catholic Church abuse scandal in the U.S.
- Probes how church law protects bishops from accountability
- Deals directly with "repressed memory" incidents and belated crime reporting
- Places blame for priests' improper behavior on failings of church accountability processes
- Considers reforms and best practices to be applied in the light of the scandal
The sexual abuse of children and teens by rogue priests in the U.S. Catholic Church is a heinous crime, and those who pray for a religious community as its ministers, priests and rabbis should never tolerate those who prey on that community. The legal disputes of recent years have produced many scandalous headlines and fuelled public discussion about the sexual abuse crisis within the clergy, a crisis that has cost the U.S. Catholic Church over $3 billion.

In The Clergy Sex Abuse Crisis and the Legal Responses, two eminent experts, James O'Reilly and Margaret Chalmers, draw on the lessons of recent years to discern the interplay between civil damages law and global church-based canon law. In some countries civil and canon law, although autonomous systems of law, both form part of the church's legal duties. In the United States, freedom of religion issues have complicated how the state adjudicates both cases of abuse and who can be held responsible for clerical oversight. This book examines questions of civil and criminal liability, issues of respondeat superior and oversight, issues with statutes of limitations and dealing with allegations that occurred decades ago, and how the Church's internal judicial processes interact or clash with the civil pursuit of these cases.

Readership: US prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement agencies either directly or indirectly concerned with the clergy abuse scandal; lay & religious supporters of the Catholic church; advisors to non-Catholic churches; defense lawyers and corporate counsel who represent Catholic dioceses; religious studies scholars and students.
