The Catholic Bishop Abuse Service has been established to receive reports of sexual abuse and related misconduct by bishops, and to relay those reports to proper Church authorities for investigation. Where a report includes a crime, such as the sexual abuse of a minor, it will be reported to civil authorities. Otherwise reports will be kept confidential.
If you are a victim of sexual abuse (or any other crime), please contact local law enforcement.
