November 1994


Most Rev. John F. Kinney and the Bishops' Ad Hoc Committee on Sexual Abuse, Restoring Trust: A Pastoral Response to Sexual Abuse, Volume I (Washington, D.C.: National Conference of Catholic Bishops, November 1994).

This is the first volume of the report by the Ad Hoc Committee on Sexual Abuse. We have also posted Restoring Trust: Volume II. These reports were obtained from the NCCB by the plaintiffs in the matter of Rev. Rudy Kos, and were donated to BishopAccountability.org by Sylvia Demarest as part of her archive. The files are searchable in Adobe Acrobat.

Volume I is available here as a single large PDF, containing 200 pages, and as separate chapters for easier download:
