	"Report Paedophile Priests" Call The Press Association February 24, 2009 http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5g4IH0vjkQzuM4xKl9Uszj-D-MDgA Senior Catholic Church clerics who fail to blow the whistle on suspected paedophile priests will be reported to the authorities, a religious watchdog has warned. A new culture of accountability is also needed to protect vulnerable children in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, the National Board for the Safeguarding of Children in the Catholic Church said. The body published seven new standards clergy must meet to safeguard youngsters in their care. Chief executive Ian Elliott said while responsible bodies have indicated their willingness to endorse the guidelines, he admitted it had to take the word of church leaders that they will be implemented across the country.
