2019: Kerala Catholic Bishops’ guidelines

February , 2019: The Times of India

The Kerala Catholic Bishops Council has issued guidelines to protect minors and adults in church-run institutions from any form of sexual abuse. The guidelines, issued in the wake of several priests and bishops facing sexual assault charges, has proposed “strict action” against offenders.

Though the document titled KCBC Guidelines for Safe Environment Programme was issued in 2018, it entered public domain recently. On January 11, TOI had reported on Syro Malabar church’s decision to implement the norms. These also mooted a mechanism to address false accusations against the clergy, employees associated with the church.
