The website reportbishopabuse.org and phone number (800) 276-1562 have been established to receive reports of sexual abuse and related misconduct by bishops, and to relay those reports to proper Church authorities for investigation. Where a report includes a crime, such as the sexual abuse of a minor, it will also be reported to civil authorities. Otherwise, reports will be kept confidential.

If you have any other kind of complaint about a bishop—such as parish assignments, church closings, or homily contents—please address those directly to the diocese of the bishop. Sexual abuse by a priest, deacon or a staff member, or volunteer of the Church should be reported to the Victim Assistance Coordinator in your diocese or Archdiocese.  (In the Archdiocese of Louisville, the Victim Assistance Coordinator is Martine Siegel at victimassistance@archlou.org.)

If you are the victim of sexual abuse (or any other crime), please contact local law enforcement.
