SANTA FE, N.M. -- The Archdiocese of Santa Fe has a new code of conduct.
Archbishop Michael Sheehan said the code improves a simplified code that was written in 1993 to deal with a sexual abuse scandal that involved priests.
The Albuquerque Journal reported Monday that the new code advocates mentorship of newly ordained priests.
The code also encourages striving to live chastity and celibacy to the full. And the code calls for "fraternal correction," meaning priests must be attentive to the needs of fellow priests.
