The Vatican issues a long-awaited manual for bishops and religious superiors on conducting in-house investigations into sexual assault allegations against priests.

The Vatican has told bishops around the world they should report cases of clergy sex crimes to police even when not legally bound to do so, in its latest effort to compel church leaders to protect minors from predator priests.The manual has been issued in six languages and goes beyond what current Vatican policy dictates

It says anonymous allegations and hearsay cannot be dismissed outright and could be cause for investigation While the Vatican has had detailed canonical norms in place for two decades, the laws continue to be ignored by some bishops who dismiss allegations by victims in favour of protecting their priests.
