Though the fi lm did a good job of focusing on the eŸ orts of the Boston Globe journalists to bring the scandal to light, it failed to address the many steps the Church has taken since then to combat sex abuse. In March 2014, Pope Francis estab- lished the Pontifi cal Commission for the Protection of Minors, a special commission tasked with implementing policies and changes which will better protect minors from all forms of sex abuse. In September 2014, the Holy Father appointed Monsignor Robert Oliver of the Archdiocese of Boston as the new secretary of the commission. Monsignor Oliver served in the Archdiocese of Boston during the 2002 scandal, so he knows how to deal with this pressing issue fi rsthand and brings invaluable experience to the Vatican. Monsignor Oliver served as the keynote speaker for last week's National Safe Environment Coordinator's Confer- ence taking place in Denver. Denver Catholic contacted Monsi- gnor Oliver for an email interview ahead of his visit to Denver regarding what the Church is accomplishing in the way of combatting sex abuse of minors. DENVER CATHOLIC: You've been in the new position of the secretary of the Pontifi cal Commission for the Protection of Minors for over a year now. Why was this position created, and what new policies and changes have you implemented to combat child sex abuse? MSGR ROBERT OLIVER: Pope Fran- cis instituted the commission with the goal of assisting the Holy Father and local churches to make the Church a safe place, by promoting local respon- sibility for the protection of all minors and vulnerable adults. The role of the secretary is to assist the president and the members in this important work. We are currently focusing our eŸ orts on three primary areas: Assisting con- ferences of bishops and conferences of religious with their guidelines for child protection, developing educa- tional resources for local Churches, and providing resources to areas with particular need. DC: What are your goals in this new position? RO: The Guidelines Project is espe- cially important. Each conference of bishops around the world is work- ing with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on developing their policies and programs for child protection and providing for the heal- ing and care of victims/survivors of abuse. The members of the commis- sion and our collaborators are able to oŸ er their assistance to bishops and religious superiors as these guidelines are developed and updated.
