A lot of them sure did! I was surfing through EWTN's site last night and came across an interesting little tidbit,which made me search for a site that had the Book of Canon Law.
In a speech he delivered at the University of Milan last week-- reported in the Italian magazine Expresso-- Archbishop Julian Herranz said that the Church has the canonical structures in place to handle questions of priestly sexual misconduct. For example, the archbishop observed that the Code of Canon Law (#1395) already prescribes the penalty of laicization for priests who are guilty of pedophilia.
Archbishop Herranz, who is president of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, was one of the Vatican officials involved in the recent "summit meeting" with the leadership of the US bishops' conference.
