Editing Pope John XXIII (section)

===Response to sexual abuse===
On 17 August 2003, [[The Guardian|''The Guardian'']], a British newspaper, published a confidential document of the Church, to which it had access, dated 16 March 1962, instructing bishops around the world to cover up cases of sexual abuse by clergy, or they would run the risk of being [[Excommunication|excommunicated from the Church]]. The document, bearing the seal of Pope John XXIII, is named [[Crimen sollicitationis]] translated to "On the Manner of Proceeding in Cases of the Crime of Solicitation"<ref>{{cite web|date=1962 |publisher=Vatican |title=Instruction on the Manner of Proceeding in Causes involving the Crime of Solicitation |url=https://www.vatican.va/resources/resources_crimen-sollicitationis-1962_en.html}}<!-- auto-translated from Portuguese by Module:CS1 translator --></ref> 

In the 69-page document, victims are asked to take an oath of secrecy when making a complaint to Church officials. It states that the instructions must 'be diligently stored in the secret archives of the [Vatican] Curia as strictly confidential. The theme focuses on sexual abuse initiated as part of the confessional relationship between a priest and a member of his congregation, but also covers aspects related to the "indescribable crime" with [[Pedophilia|young people of both sexes]] and [[Zoophilia|sex with animals]]. Bishops are instructed to investigate these cases 'in the most secret way [...] contained by a perpetual silence [...] and all must observe the strictest secret that is commonly considered a secret of the Holy Office, under penalty of excommunication.<ref>{{cite web|date=18 August 2003 |first=Owen |language=en |last=Bowcott |work=The Guardian |title=Row over Vatican order to conceal priests' sex abuse |url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/aug/18/uk.religion}}<!-- auto-translated from Portuguese by Module:CS1 translator --></ref><ref>{{cite web|date=17 August 2003 |first=Antony |language=en |last=Barnett |work=the Guardian |title=Vatican told bishops to cover up sex abuse |url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/aug/17/religion.childprotection}}<!-- auto-translated from Portuguese by Module:CS1 translator --></ref> 

The document was valid, until 2001, when a new set of procedures was published by the Vatican, to investigate and judge particularly serious canonical crimes, including certain sexual crimes committed by members of the clergy.<ref>{{cite web|date=15 July 2011 |first=Thomas |last=Doyle |publisher=Arquivado em WayBack Machine |title=The 1922 instruction and the 1962 instruction "Crimen Sollicitationis" promulgated by the Vatican |url=http://www.richardsipe.com/Doyle/2008/2008-10-03-Commentary%20on%201922%20and%201962%20documents.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715183919/http://www.richardsipe.com/Doyle/2008/2008-10-03-Commentary%20on%201922%20and%201962%20documents.pdf |archive-date=15 July 2011 }}<!-- auto-translated from Portuguese by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>
