The Clergy Sex Abuse Crisis and the Legal Responses
O'Reilly, James T. (Professor, Professor, University of Cincinnati College of Law, Cincinnati, OH)
In The Clergy Sex Abuse Crisis and the Legal Responses, two eminent experts, James O'Reilly and Margaret Chalmers, draw on the lessons of recent years to discern the interplay between civil damages law and global church-based canon law. In some countries civil and canon law, although autonomous systems of law, both form part of the church's legal duties. In the United States, freedom of religion issues have complicated how the state adjudicates both cases ofabuse and who can be held responsible for clerical oversight.
