	Oregon Bishop Criticized in National Report; Clergy Sex Abuse Victims Respond SNAP March 14, 2009 http://www.snapnetwork.org/snap_statements/2009_statements/031309_oregon_bishop_criticized_in_national_report_clergy_sex_abuse_victims_respond.htm We're saddened but not surprised that Baker Catholic officials still refuse to participate in the annual national church sex abuse program. Even worse, Bishop Robert Vasa won't conduct abuse prevention training for children, the training mandate by the national bishops conference that is designed to prevent future horrific child sex crimes. The bishop won't even do the bare minimum regarding child safety, preferring instead to risk the safety of the children entrusted to his care. His fellow bishops have not censored nor held him accountable in any way for this egregious violation, which calls into question their sincerity about safeguarding kids.
