I was paraphrasing the remarks at FoxNews.

And likely the person speaking there was misusing the term, "canon law."

Right at the beginning ... 1:17 or so is the statement that clergy is protected from accusations, by secrecy. Same term is used again shortly thereafter. Speaker is Mitchell Garabedian

Thanks for the cite, I’ll check it out.

I am not a priest, bishop, and M-O-O-N knows, certainly not the Pope, but I highly suspect that someone misspoke. Oh, I’m an former Catholic school girl, but the only student/teacher sex scandal I know of happened when I had to go to a public school...and thankfully, not to me!
