Regarding:  "In the course of that report, it recommends mandatory reporting of all suspected child sexual abuse within institutions and the creation of new offences of failing to take proper care to prevent such abuse."
- Mandatory reporting will insure that the scandal of episcopal secrecy which is subsequent to the rape of children and the molestation of young people will be much reduced.
- That is, bishops, hearing the reports of rape or molestation may not treat the report as a confession, or as information gained in counseling. Rather the bishop should advise clerics and employees (lay or cleric) that as bishop he may not ever be confessor or spiritual director to them.
- Those clerics who would be allowed to hear the confession of a cleric who had raped a child or molested a young person must never give absolution until the offender turns himself  into the civil authorities. After which time the confessor may then absolve the offending cleric.
