At the conclusion of the conference on measures against child sexual abuse announced by Pope Francis a new openness and consistent. In the case of concrete measures, however, remained vague.
Pope Francis has called the Church to an uncompromising fight against the sexual abuse of Minors. “No abuse should ever be covered up, as was usual in the past,” he said in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. Because the Cover promotes the spread of this Evil and create a new scandal level.
The Catholic Church must learn to give the debt. “We must not succumb to the temptation to blame others, which would be a step in the direction of an alibi, denied the reality.”
He announced, once again, a systematic crackdown of the Church. “Should only be a case of abuse – which is in itself an abomination, so this case will be addressed with the greatest seriousness.” Within the Church the awareness of the obligation was to be grown, the abuse of disciplinary measures, civil and to combat the Church’s legal processes. In the past, offenders were often transferred after allegations of sexual abuse, simply to report, without the allegations of secular institutions.
