In order to prevent such situations from happening anymore, it is necessary to take great responsibility for minors, for people who habitually have an imperfect use of reason and for people to whom the law recognizes equal protection. This concern may be considered an indispensable part of the mission entrusted to the Church, which, as a community of the faithful, strives for the salvation of every human being and for the common good of the community in which it carries out its mission. The answer to how to accomplish this task and how to bring church communities out of the deep crisis caused by sexual abuse of clergy comes from the Catholic Church in the United States, including the Diocese of Fairbanks.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/sexual abusesexual abuse committed by clergyabuse of minorssexual misconductsexual abuse of childrendiocese of FairbanksdiocesesbankruptcyChapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Codepreventionwykorzystywanie seksualnenadużycia seksualne popełniane przez duchownychnadużycia wobec nieletnichnadużycia seksualnewykorzystywanie seksualne dziecidiecezja FairbanksdiecezjebankructwoRozdział 11 Kodeksu UpadłościowegoprewencjaThe Response of the Catholic Church in the United States to Offences of Sexual Abuse of Minors Committed by Clerics Based on the Example of the Diocese of FairbanksArticle
