Here's his response to the email from the previous update:
"Hello Jennifer
Peace and grace
Thank you so much for your kind words and also for your zeal and love toward the children of God.
I want to assure you that we already have a policy and the policy is in the process of being expanded.
May the Lord keep the church united and strong in His name always.
God bless you
Bishop Youssef

As per my previous update, this isn't new news to me, and I replied to him:
"To His Grace Bishop Youssef:
Thank you for the kind words! While I am aware you have a policy and in the process of expanding it, I wanted to make sure the policies mentioned in the previous email will be added to the revised policy:
“What our community needs are policies such as organizing an aid system that allows victims of sexual misconduct to inquire professional guidance in a judgment-free zone, making sure confessions are in a publicly viewable location, obligating psychological evaluations and background checks for current and upcoming priests by an independent third party, and obligating sexual misconduct education for all current and future priests and servants of the church.”
Additionally, I implore you to reach out to the injured families that have been hurt by sexual misconduct.
Thank you,
-your children in Christ"
