The Pope Is Toughening Church Laws On Sex Abuse, Fraud And The Ordination Of Women

Pope Francis prepares to leave after celebrating a special Mass for the community of the faithful of Myanmar resident in Rome, at the Vatican last month. Tuesday, Francis issued new canon law focused on sexual abuse, fraud and the attempted ordination of women.

The first major revision of Catholic canon law in nearly four decades redefines clerical sex abuse and mandates specific punishments. It also sets punishments for the attempted ordination of women.
