PRO-LIFE UPDATE: On
December 2, 2009, the Obama Administration approved
the first use of human
embryonic stem cells for experiments by federally
funded researchers, using our
tax dollars for an unethical destruction of
human life at its early
stage. Richard Doerflinger
of the U.S.
Conference
of Catholic bishops told the
New York Times (12/31/09) that, “the tragedy
of this is multiplied by the
fact that no one can think what the problem is
that can only be solved by
these cells, in light of the amazing progress
that has been made with adult
stem cell research”.
STATEMENT FROM THE DIOCESE OF
FT. WAYNE-SO. BEND
REGARDING THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLICIES
AND PROCEDURES FOR THE PROTECTION OF
CHILDREN AND YOUNG
PEOPLE: It remains important for our Church

children and young persons from
the evils of abuse. To abuse a child is a
sin. The Diocese of Ft.

remains committed to upholding and
following those guidelines,
policies and procedures that were implemented
for the Protection of Children
and Young People. These can be reviewed on
the Diocese’s website: www.diocesefwsb.org
. If you have reason to believe
that a child may be a victim of
child abuse or neglect, Indiana law
requires that you report this
to civil authorities. If you or someone you
know was abused as a child or
young person by an adult, you are encouraged
to notify appropriate civil
authorities of that abuse. In addition, if
the
alleged abuser is or was a
priest or deacon of the Catholic Church, you are
encouraged to contact Fr.
Robert Schulte, Vicar General of the Diocese of
Ft. Wayne-So. Bend, at P.O. Box 390,
Ft. Wayne, IN, 46801,
or at (260)
422-4611. The Diocese is
committed to helping prevent such abuse use or
neglect of children and young
people and to assist those who claim to have
suffered harm as a result of such
abuse.
