MSC Ongoing Formation Commission

This is a Recording of Monsignor John Renken’s webinar of November 2021. On the Delicts of Sexual Abuse in the Revised Penal Law of the Latin Catholic Church. What’s so new about the revised body of penal laws that Pope Francis has promulgated for the Latin Catholic Church? What changes has he made about the delicts of sexual abuse in the Church?  What are these delicts, and who commits them?  What does this new law say about those who keep sexual abuse “secret,” whether by not reporting it or by covering it up?
