	Cardinal Says Canon Law Changes 'Possible' to Better Address Abuse Associated Press, carried in KPTM April 18, 2008 http://www.kptm.com/Global/story.asp?S=8194244&nav=menu606_2 UNITED NATIONS (AP) - An American cardinal says it's possible that canon law could be changed to better address the abuse scandal that has badly damaged the Catholic church in the U.S. and other nations. Cardinal William Levada (leh-VAY'-duh), who runs the Vatican agency that enforces church doctrine, says there are some things under consideration. However, he says he's not at liberty to discuss them. Benedict has discussed the clergy sexual abuse scandal several times during his U.S. visit and yesterday met privately with a group of abuse victims. He has been widely expected to broach the subject tomorrow when he celebrates Mass for priests, deacons and members of religious orders at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan.
