heartening news, brother
I think he's also making reasonable attempts at prevention (from the diocesan website):
These on-going policies and practices include:
¨ A “zero tolerance” policy for clergy, church workers and volunteers. No one with a credible complaint of sexual abuse against them will be permitted to remain in ministry in the Diocese of Sacramento.
¨ Mandatory reporting of any accusation to law enforcement.
¨ An annual compliance audit to insure that diocesan policies and practices meet or exceed the standards established in the Charter and the Essential Norms adopted by the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
¨ An Independent Review Board to evaluate complaints and advise the Bishop on an accused person’s fitness for ministry.
¨ Enhanced screening for seminarians, including a second round of testing immediately prior to ordination, fingerprinting and criminal background checks prior to acceptance to the seminary or formation in the diaconate.
¨ Enhanced screening and background checks for priests and others who transfer into the diocese.
¨ Special training for clergy, church workers and volunteers to help identify and report possible instances of abuse.
¨ Fingerprinting of all diocesan clergy, church workers and volunteers in positions that bring them into contact with children.
