Abstract

Shattering the Illusion is the first book to gather and comparatively analyze policies addressing child sexual abuse complaints in a selection of religious institutions in Canada. Although there is a substantial body of literature regarding Christianity and sexual abuse, very little of it focuses on religious institutions in Canada and their respective policies. In the foreword, Tracy J. Trothen summarizes the Cornwall Inquiry, out of which this book arose. She then examines the Roman Catholic Church, The United Church of Canada, the Anglican Church, the Mennonite Church, Islam, and the Canadian Unitarian Council/Unitarian Universalist Association, describing in detail the evolution and particular content of policies and procedures that address child sexual abuse complaints directed at paid and volunteer faith community representatives and/ or leaders. She identifies differences and common themes among the approaches taken by the institutions and provides a summary table for an accessible comparative overview. Child sexual abuse is not new, but the emergence of policies to address abuse complaints within religious institutions is. This book identifies significant and shared causal factors behind the emergence of policy and reviews their content carefully. This review will serve as a significant tool for furthering the development of such policies.

Abstract

Depuis quelques années, dans l'Eglise catholique, c'est une avalanche de faits divers sordides et d'occultations, d'abus sexuels autant que de conscience et de pouvoir. Certes, de tels abus ont toujours existé, le secret est une chape trop lourde à lever, ébranlant l'institution au passage. Les révélations ne font que commencer. Mais que des clercs et des évêques, des personnes en poste de responsabilité dans l'Eglise catholique aient pu être à ce point impliquées dans ce scandale à vaste échelle, est incompréhensible, mystérieux, étrange. Cet ouvrage de réflexion voudrait jeter un peu de lumière sur ce qui ne devrait pas être, sur ce qui n'aurait jamais dû être toléré, et qui pourtant marque si profondément l'humanité, les sociétés, les religions, l'Eglise catholique. Marie-Jo Thiel, en médecin, sait qu'on ne met pas de pansement sur des tissus nécrosés. Il faut nettoyer la plaie localement et examiner globalement par quoi et pourquoi cette nécrose est arrivée. Il n'en va pas autrement des abus sexuels sur mineurs dans l'Eglise catholique. Un ouvrage de référence par une spécialiste de l'éthique.

Abstract

At the turn of the millennium, the crisis of sexual abuse changed the societal landscape, first disclosed in the western and English-speaking world and found to be problematic everywhere. A growing awareness of its epic proportions -- from the recognition in the 1970s of the prevalence and lasting harm of incest to the uncovering of sexual abuse by clergy to the #metoo movement's spotlight on abuse in various sectors ' has called attention to the suffering of victims. Although sexual abuse is not exclusively an internal matter of the Church, this book limits its scope to the abuse that happened to children and young people within the context of the Catholic Church. The Church has to respond to the many questions raised by this terrible reality; its leaders and all faithful have to put victims first and proactively engage in safe-guarding minors in the present and the future.00This is the first publication in the book series of the Centre for Child Protection (CCP). The CCP, which is part of the Institute of Psychology of the Pontifical Gregorian University, aims at preventing sexual abuse of minors and vulnerable people through formation and scientific research.
