Cardinal Dulles says Bishops’ abuse policy extreme<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe nation’s pre-eminent Roman Catholic theologian, Cardinal Avery Dulles, called in a speech published yesterday for reconsideration of the “zero tolerance” policy toward sex abuse by priests that U.S. bishops adopted two years ago in Dallas.
\nIn the speech, delivered to a Catholic group in Florida on May 27, Dulles described the Dallas policy as an “extreme response” to the sex-abuse scandal in the church. He predicted the Vatican will insist on revisions when the policy comes up for renewal in December. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
