PHILADELPHIA _ A national lay panel responsible for monitoring clergy sex abuse in the Roman Catholic Church says it will need millions more dollars to do its job than the American bishops have budgeted.

Members of the National Review Board, which oversees the Office of Youth and Child Protection, say it could cost $3 million to $5 million to fulfill the ambitious mandate.

But with only $1.12 million for this year from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the review board is preparing to tap Catholic philanthropic sources for the difference.

However, the heads of some prominent Catholic philanthropies said last week they are not going to "let the bishops off the hook" by making up all of the shortfall. The bishops' conference authorized creation of the office and board in June.
