Pope Leo commits to addressing clergy abuse
Pope Leo's statements reaffirm his commitment to ending child abuse by members of the Catholic clergy. He met with a survivor of such abuse in France and emphasized the importance of acknowledging past mistakes and addressing deep-seated wounds. He also called for concrete measures to enhance child protection. This was preceded by his emphasis on the importance of confronting the Church's past with courage and directing bishops to continue their efforts to protect children, with a focus on transparency and reparations for abuses. The visit comes as the Church works to restore its credibility, while a site linked to the shrine's location is facing allegations of sexual misconduct by a religious artist connected to the Vatican, with calls for further action and accountability.
