“…Children involved in spiritual communities are not immune to maltreatment. Estimates suggest that between 2% and 6% of priests abuse children and youth (Marcotte, 2008; Terry, 2008). Research has documented both short‐term and long‐term effects of such maltreatment on children's psychosocial functioning (Flynn, 2008; Pargament, Murray‐Swank, & Mahoney, 2008; Wind, Sullivan, & Levins, 2008) and spiritual development (Ganje‐Fling, Veach, Kuang, & Houg, 2000; Isely, Isely, Freiburger, & McMackin, 2008; Weber & Cummings, 2003).…”

The authors empirically evaluated a spiritually based 1-day child maltreatment training program. Pretest, posttest, and follow-up results indicated that participants' recognition of hypothetical maltreatment did not increase after training. Furthermore, although participants decreased their use of items known to dissuade decisions to report, they were less likely to report maltreatment posttraining and 1 month later. Focus group data revealed that participants felt more knowledgeable but insufficiently prepared to respond to maltreatment and that they needed opportunities to practice what they had learned. Suggestions for clergy, pastoral counselors, and mental health professionals working within spiritual communities are provided to inform curriculum advancements.

Child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church has been increasingly recognized as a problem not limited to individual institutions. Recent inquiry commission reports provide substantial information on offense dynamics, but their conclusions have not been synthesized with empirical research to date. The aim of this systematic literature review was to bring together key findings and identify gaps in the evidence base. The three main focus points were (a) types of publications and methodology used, (b) frequency information on child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, (c) individual factors in offending, and (d) institutional factors in offending. It was found that reports, legal assessments, and research on child sexual abuse within the Catholic Church provide extensive descriptive and qualitative information for five different countries. This includes individual psychological factors (static risk predictors, multiple trajectories) and institutional factors (opportunity, social dynamics) as well as prevalence rates illustrating a high "dark figure" of child sexual abuse.
