Pope Deems Cloning Unethical Seattle Priests Banned for Abuse (AP)— Pope John Paul II warned in a statement that humanity’s speedy progress in science and technology risks overlooking moral val ues, citing with particular concern experiments in hu man cloning. The pontiff - in a mes sage written Aug. 6 but re leased Sunday for the start of a Church-organized meet ing on the theme of progress - insisted that advanced re search must not become an end in itself. “The results achieved in various fields o f science and technology are co n sidered and defended by many as a priori accep t ab le,” he said. “In this way, one ends up expecting that w hat is technically possible is in itself also ethically g o o d .” The po n tiff continued: “T here is no one w ho does not see the dram atic and d istressin g co n seq u en ces of such pragm atism , w hich perceives truth and ju stice as s o m e th in g m o d e le d around the work of man him self.

Deadline for Abuse Claims Wanted (AP) — The Archdiocese of Portland, the first American dio cese to file for bankruptcy, has asked a federal judge to set a Dec. 31 deadline for priest sex abuse victims to come forward. The archdiocese said it needs to have a firm estimate of the number o f potential lawsuits to help settle creditor claims. The diocese filed July 6 for Chapter 11 protection under federal bankruptcy law. At least 60 alleged victims have pending claim s against the arch diocese; another 20 are expected to file claims. David Slader, an attorney for 17 o f those victims, said the deadline is unrealistic. “The problem is that the men and women who have been abused by their priests live in a world o f shame - and that shame imposes a cloak of silence over them,” he said.
