Pope expands sex abuse law, reaffirms adults can be victims

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:43:24 GMT

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Saturday updated a 2019 church law aimed at holding Catholic hierarchs accountable for covering up cases of sex abuse, expanding the norms to cover lay Catholic leaders and reaffirming that vulnerable adults can also be victims of abuse when they are unable to consent.Francis reaffirmed and made permanent the temporary provisions of the 2019 law that were passed in a moment of crisis for the Vatican and Catholic hierarchy. That law had been praised at the time for laying out precise mechanisms to investigate complicit bishops and religious superiors, but its implementation has been uneven and the Vatican has been criticized by abuse survivors for continued lack of transparency about the cases.The new norms conform to other changes in the Catholic Church’s handling of abuse that have been issued since then. Most significantly, they are expanded to cover leaders of Vatican-approved associations headed by lay leaders, not just clerics. That is a resp...

Service changes on almost 40 TTC routes set to take effect Sunday

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:43:24 GMT

The Toronto Transit Commission will adjust scheduling on almost 40 of its routes on Sunday as part of its plan to align service with demand.As of March 26, the TTC says 37 daytime bus, streetcar and subway routes and two overnight bus routes will see “reliability improved and capacity will be matched to ridership demand, or both.”The adjustments will also mean longer wait times for customers on 11 of the routes affected. Customers on 24 other routes will see shorter wait times in some periods of the day and longer wait times in other periods, while two routes will have shorter wait times overall.The service reductions come into effect a little over a week before the TTC is set to increase fares for youth and adults by 10 cents.However, a new study by Toronto Metropolitan University found the upcoming service cuts will disproportionately impact the city’s marginalized communities who often depend on public transit for their everyday needs.The report – 2023 TTC Servi...

Montreal artist won’t change puppet that community groups say looks like blackface

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:43:24 GMT

MONTREAL — A theatre performance for children featuring a puppet that has been described as racist is continuing in the Montreal area.Several Black community organizations have criticized the puppet as being reminiscent of blackface minstrel shows — racist performances during which white people portrayed exaggerated stereotypes of Black people for laughs. But the show’s creator — Franck Sylvestre, who is Black — has no plans to change the puppet, which he said is a caricature of his own features. Sylvestre said in an interview he can’t accept the idea that he’s not allowed to create a caricature of someone who is Black because racists created caricatures of Black people in the past. “That’s unheard of for an artist,” he said.The play, called L’incroyable secret de barbe noire — French for The Incredible Secret of Blackbeard — first drew controversy in February. A performance at a municipal theatre in the Montreal suburb of Beaconsfield, Que....

Questions raised about safety of Old Montreal building destroyed by fatal fire

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:43:24 GMT

MONTREAL — More than a week after a fatal fire tore through a building in Old Montreal, accounts from former tenants and victims of the blaze are raising questions about the safety of the heritage property.Four bodies had been found as of Friday afternoon and three people were missing in the shell of the once-elegant greystone building.Police and firefighters have said it’s too soon to say what caused the fire. But witnesses have raised questions about safety, including whether smoke detectors were working and whether there were proper emergency exits.A rental tribunal decision shows that in 2012, the owner, Emile-Haim Benamor, blamed actions of a tenant for creating a risk of fire in the building. The comments are found in a Sept. 6, 2012, decision from Quebec’s Régie du logement, stemming from a dispute between Benamor and a tenant whose lease he was trying to end. According to the document, Benamor claimed the tenant was “manipulating electricity” and had ...
