On June 9, 2023, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) sent out an action alert for Catholics to ask their members of Congress to address the online child exploitation which they argue "threatens the safety and well-being of our young people and destroys families and communities," the Crux website reports.
They wrote the letter not just as USCCB chairmen or pastors, but also as leaders of an institution that for many years failed to meet its responsibility to protect children.
"The ability of a child to grow into adulthood in peace and security is both a human right and a demand of the common good the dignity of the human person requires protections for our young people so that they may flourish as they mature," they added.
