[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there now clear cut rules for priest/altar boy or altar girl interactions?  I know that abuse did not solely happen in the back church rooms, but anyone out there have children who currently serve in these positions?  What are the rules for being alone with a  priest?  Are there clear rules for priests not to be alone with minors?[/quote]

Yes - priests now are much more aware of this and are very cautious not to put themselves in any compromising situations.  One of DH’s best friends is a priest.  We’ve known him for almost 30 years.  He’s a good man and I trust him with my children as much as I trust anyone.  But he will not ever put himself in a position to be alone with them - or any other child (or woman actually)  It’s a sad result of what other priests have done to taint his occupation.

I just makes me sad for the good men in the vocation.[/quote]

Makes me more sad for the children who were violated. Several committed suicide when they grew up.[/quote]
