Clergy Paedophilia;- The Criminal Responsibility of Canada’s Churches. 
​
In the last few years Canada's churches have been plagued by sexual abuse scandals from Newfoundland to British Columbia. Members of the clergy and of lay orders across the country have been charged with, and convicted of, criminal offences involving the physical and sexual abuse of children. Media reports and television documentaries have emphasised the tremendous scope of the problem of clergy paedophilia, the seriousness of the harm done to the victims, and the irresponsible and sometimes heartless behaviour of church officials who received reports of such abuse. These stories have shocked the Canadian public and have given rise to a sense of crisis to which the law and society must respond. The purpose of this article is to explore the question of whether churches and religious organisations should be held criminally responsible for the acts and omissions of senior clerics who, in response to reports of clergy paedophilia, engage in organisational behaviour which is designed to protect the abuser and to promote the interests of the church or organisation concerned, at the expense of past and future victims.


With hundreds of thousands of victims worldwide over several decades, sexual rape by members of the Catholic Clergy is an unprecedented issue of justice. In order to reveal and confront the magnitude of the crimes, many transitional justice mechanisms are at work, including expert reports, commissions of inquiry, truth commissions and trials. 

Canada searches for truth behind deaths of thousands of indigenous children at Catholic Residential Schools. Investigation hopes to uncover what happened to more than 15,000 students who died at government-funded boarding schools.
