Meeting will likely focus on swift priest removal
The Associated Press
The extraordinary summit of U.S. cardinals and Vatican officials on clergy sex abuse will likely focus on speeding up the removal of errant priests, a leader among American bishops said yesterday.
Catholic clergy. "The commitment to protecting the safety of children and vulnerable people and the commitment of all of us — bishops and clergy — to lives of integrity is not going to end," said Bishop Joseph Galante, coadjutor of Dallas and member of a panel overseeing the U.S. bishops' response to the sex abuse scandal.
Also on the table at next week's meeting; the merits of implementing a binding national policy that could standardize how U.S. bishops handle charges of molestation against Roman Catholic clergy.
Observers cautioned against high expectations for the Rome gathering.
The church is known for its deliberate style, and the meeting next Tuesday and Wednesda
Still, the Vatican has never before moved as swiftly to convene a meeting of cardinals. The pope called all American archbishops to Rome in 1989 to discuss divorce among Catholics and other issues, but that gathering was planned long in advance.
should be seen as one step in a long struggle to restore trust in the church, they said.
"It seems to indicate that there was some concern not just to protect the church from scandal, but for the bishops to be true pastors and shepherds of their flock," said Christopher Bellitto, a church historian and academic editor of the Paulist Press.
"It seems to indicate that the pope is exercising his role as the good shepherd and not simply the CEO."
Russell Shaw, a former spokesman for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Knights of Columbus, saw the spoils summons as a show of solidarity with the American church and Cardinal Bernard Law of Boston.
Law's archdiocese has been
the epicenter of the raging scandal which has hopped from diocese to diocese.
The cardinal acknowledged in January that he failed to remove a pedophile priest now accused of molesting more than 130 people. He has refused to step down in the face of intense pressure from angry Catholics, and will be among the 13 U.S. cardinals attending the Vatican meeting.
"I think the pope wants it to be known that he backs Cardinal Law and he wants it also to be known that the cardinal's colleagues in the American hierarchy do as well," Shaw said.
Monsignor Francis Maniscalco, a spokesman for the U.S. bishops conference, said Vatican officials would be listening to the cardinals' ideas next week, not issuing orders.
Among the participants in the Rome meeting will be three cardinals heading the Vatican offices on clergy, bishops and doctrinal orthodoxy. The doctrinal office is led by the powerful Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, a confidant of the pope.
Family of boy who flew plane into building sues drug maker
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — The family of a 15-year-old boy who crashed a stolen plane into a Tampa highrise is suing the maker of the acne drug Acutane for $70 million, accusing the medicine of prompting her son's suicide.
In an interview aired yesterday by NBC's Today show, the boy's mother, Julie Bishop, said her son had showed no signs of depression.
The lawsuit filed Monday claims the drug caused severe psychosis in Charles Bishop, who died Jan. 5 and left a note expressing sympathy for Osama bin Laden and supporting the Sept. 11 attacks.
"This child was a happy, wellbalanced, forward-thinking child who had a great deal to live for," Bishop said. "This was psychotic and the only conclusion we have been able to draw is the Accutane poisoned him."
A Hoffmann-La Roche representative said the company was unaware of the lawsuit, but the company does not believe the drug is dangerous.
Accutane carries a warning about suicide, but the company points to statistics showing sufferers of severe acne and teenagers — the main users of the drug - generally have higher suicide rates.
"We continue, as do the experts, to believe there is no link," said company representative Carolyn Glynn.
The Food and Drug Administration says 147 people taking Accutane either committed suicide or were hospitalized for suicide attempts from 1982 to May 2000. An estimated 13 million patients have used Accutane since its debut in 1982.
An autopsy found no trace of Accutane in Bishop's blood, but attorneys for the family say so much blood was lost in the crash that the test may not have been useful.
Court says Falwell can get charter
The Associated Press
ROANOKE, Va. — In a lawsuit brought by the Rev. Jerry Fallowell, a federal judge has ruled that an 18th-century Virginia law banning the incorporation of churches unconstitutionally restricts the free exercise of religion.
U. S. District Judge Norman Moon ordered the State Corporation Commission to grant Falwell's Thomas Road Baptist Church a corporate charter.
The ban stems from Thomas Jefferson's 1779 Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom. The
"Unlike other groups in Virginia, members of 'a church or religious denomination' are denied the benefits of incorporation because of their religious status," Moon wrote in an opinion issued Monday.
General Assembly outlawed corporate charters for churches in 1787 and included the ban in the state Constitution.
In addition to the incorporation ban, Virginia churches are not allowed to own more than 15 acres of property in a city or town and 250 acres in any one county. Only West Virginia has similar restrictions.
SCC spokesman Ken Schrad said yesterday he did not know whether the commission would appeal or grant Falwell a charter.
A charter would give Falwell's church added protection from liability lawsuits, the ability to sue as an organization and the power to enter contracts. It also would allow Falwell to include his entire ministry under one corporate umbrella; currently, it is controlled by a dozen or so mini-corporations under separate charters and boards of directors.
Falwell said his ministry has grappled with Virginia's restrictions since the 1950s.
Suspects to be tried under hate crimes law
The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Che Golden and his brother Idris were coming out of a music store when the black men said they first heard the racial slurs. Moments later, they were on the ground, being punched, kicked and taunted by three whites who allegedly ripped Idris Golden's dreadlocks out of his head.
"I remember them pounding our heads on the concrete — stomping us — doing whatever they could to beat us down," said Che Golden, a 29-year-old IBM employee in Atlanta.
Black activists are calling the April 6 beating in Atlanta's Little Five Points arts and shopping district one of the worst hate crimes in the city's recent history. District Attorney Paul Howard is planning to prosecute the defendants under Georgia's new hate crime law, which calls for increased penalties for racially motivated crimes.
Prosecutors were hoping to take the case to a grand jury as early as today, said district attorney representative Eric Friedly.
Friarly. The three suspects say Che and Idiris Golden tried to steal from them. But witnesses said the suspects were taunting passers-by and beat the Goldens because of their race
"It's one of the most reprehensible hate crimes I've heard about," said Democratic state Sen. Vincent Fort. "They were just in Little Five Points chilling. They got jumped in front of a whole slew of people."
Idris Golden, 25, a teacher visiting from Baltimore on his spring break, was released from the hospital Friday. He was knocked unconscious and suffers from some memory loss. Che Golden's injuries were less severe but his hearing aids were knocked out during the attack.
The victims and their family were joined at a news conference Monday by Atlanta City Councilman Derrick Boazman and Antonio Carter, president of the National Action Network in Columbus.
"This was a classic case of hate and ignorance." said their father, Henry Golden. "I think the world should know about this."
The suspects — Ulysses Andrade, 27, Christopher Botts, 25 and Angela Pisiotta, 19 — are all described as drifters from Southern California. They could face several charges, including aggravated battery and reckless conduct.
