text: Jenifer, you stated "training for everyone who works in the Catholic Church should also be required."  It has been for about two decades now.  In addition, states also impose their own mandates upon anybody who works in the parishes as staff members, volunteers with minors, the elderly or those mentally incapable to care for themselves.
  
  While the laity has been made to take course after course to make them aware of the evils of sexual/physical/emotional abuse----the question remains-----are seminarians being trained?  Do bishops call their priests together to discuss this every few [like 2 years]?  Or is this a topic not discussed at diocesan study days?
