| Summary: | A cleric accused but not convicted of sexual abuse of a minor is usually put on administrative leave immediately. Often he leaves the parish to live with his family or with friends. Only later does he realize that he is not receiving his monthly salary and has been taken off the health insurance policy of the diocese. What is the bishop's obligation to give him "honest sustenance?" This is a requirement when a penalty is imposed (c. 1350, §1). What is the difference between the remuneration of canon 281, §1, and this sustenance? What should be factored into this sustenance- living expenses (food and rent), car allowance, health insurance? How long should it be continued? Is it stopped if the cleric has found employment? Besides being based in the general teaching of the Church on social justice, does the cleric have a true right to such support? |
