COMMONWEAL LETTERS IN RESPONSE TO ARTICLE ON PA GRAND JURY REPORT

The National Catholic Report has an article by lawyers who have conducted them:

ESSENTIAL LESSONS FOR CONDUCTING GRAND JURY INVESTIGATIONS

The Grand Jury Report is extremely long; few likely have read it. However CARA (Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate) did respond to the report in a post on their blog on August 28, 2018. The article presents its own analysis of some of the Grand Jury Report data as well as an some analysis of the data that CARA has been collecting for the bishops since the Dallas Charter.

The following post has been provided with a link to the CARA article as well as to other links and information on the bishops' website. It includes some comments about the data that are relevant to Steinfels' claim that the Dallas Charter has worked.

HAS THE DALLAS CHARTER WORKED?
