In Vicrucis de Turfí … Ratzinger talked about the need to clean the “dirt” for the church. As the governor of (Minister) of the strong group of the faith of faith (the former holy office and before the Inquisition), it has already accumulated a heavy file that has no end to violations of minors by priests and religious. Once the Pope was chosen and surrounded by “Wolves”, Benedict XII lacked the power to implement “why”, although it is true that he laid the foundations and opened the door to address that criminal scourge. “To reveal the bowl,” according to the expression used by Pope Francis, who was the person who suspended the “punch” on the altar to end the years of concealment and cover.
“I neglected and abandoned the young.” It was on August 20, 2018 – after five years of his appointment – when the Argentine ink made a dramatic speech, written “with shame and repentance”, for the “crime” of violations in the church. Francisco referred to the series “Sexual Assault on Minors, the Authority and the conscience committed by a noticeable number of clerics and gear.”
In its diagnosis, he already selected one of the evils that are in the root of the problem, writtenness, and strengths that have been practiced since religious superiority and control over the pronoun around the most vulnerable. He said more: “For a long time, the shout of the victims was silent or silent.” Francisco was his suffering and the issue into one of the great challenges he faced in Pontvivti, aware of the severity and size of the situation that turns into the distortion and deterioration of the ecclesiastical institution. He acted with the decision. Punishment for years was a general law in a church that was a trade union sect. Severe surgery has been imposed. It was the turning point.
The key was in Chile. “Francisco begins to fall from the horse. One of the Vatican says, he referred to the “Karadima case”, which later became the “Barros” case. The first thing that was an influential priest in the Church of the Holy Heart of Soyko, the accused of minors, the storm and the second, and was among the Santos fish, the accused, from previous miles, from miles, from Santos fish, accused, from previous miles, from fish, nail, accused in Santos. Francisco Fresno, which was determined as the large cover of criminal activity. But nothing happened, although Nuncio, Ivo SCAPOLOS, was informed as due.
Head of Malta bishops
Francisco realized the size of the problem and called the head of Malta bishops, Charles Sklona, one of the Vatican’s most experts in combating children against children and the main architect of legislative regulations in recent years, for a mission in Chile: Discover the full truth. SCICLUNA had a judicial experience approved in the Holy See, where he was practicing as a kind of ecclesiastical public prosecutor. He was working near the 16th Benedict when he looked at the strong waves of the tsunami that was coming.
The Pusetia Pus bag has already exploded in some countries with strong Catholic traditions, as in Ireland, and there were symbolic figures inside the church that were the scandal stone. SCICLUNA had an investigation into the founder of The Legionaries of Christ, Father Macly, whose corrupt performance was hidden by the Vatican for years. It was a historical process that opened cracks in the wall of silence in the church.
The report was destroyed. Pope called the Chilean bishop and forced them to resign. Then he trusted the Spanish Capuchino Celestino Aós, which is Navarro in the UNCITI Valley, and the restructuring and purification of that church. It seemed clear to the local churches, the issue of violations was introduced by an ear and came out on the other hand. We had to achieve a general mentality.
This is how an anti -measurement summit was born. The Pope was ready to end the culture of silence, in which the victims felt the lack of prevention, the perpetrators were almost free for their wrongful actions. The new strategy went through the celebration of the summit of all episcopal conferences in Rome. He placed it in February 2019. With the state of Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, after removing the Cardinal Berrie because of his violations of the minors, Francisco presented a clear sign that there will be no hurry. In the control room, Charles SCICLUNA, the head of Malta bishops but with a special task in the battle against violations, explained the goal of the meeting: “The Pope does not want every country its time to make a decision to respect global law and do things well. He told the media: “The moment is now.”
Mind change
The laws were prepared, but the most important thing was to change the mentality within the church. Catholic orders, males and females, from all over the world, issued a joint statement with severe self -criticism about their performance and received the mini miniature purification.
In fact, 190 religious leaders were reflected for four days on the plague of sexual assault on minors inside the church. They worked on a 21 -point text, including accompanying those affected by abuse. This was one of the pillars of the changes that were proposed: accompanying, protecting and attention victims, and providing them with all the support necessary for complete recovery.
There were associations for victims who were disappointed by the outcome of the summit and even some organizations called a parallel meeting to transfer their mission to the World Assembly. The testimony of the victims was in the days and their story conveyed a hierarchical sequence that should have heard harsh accusations: “You are the doctors of the soul, but in some cases they have become killers of the soul,” which is affected, and the division is violated and forced to abort three times.
The tradition of hiding the truth jumped across the air. The last speech of the Pope was overwhelming. It is true that it did not include concrete procedures, but they were about to reach. The summit was not “washing the face”. It was a turning point for the process of awareness and change.
In fact, Francisco has placed ill -treatment as a widespread phenomenon in all cultures and societies and its number is a global and cross problem, but it did not expel the balls: this reality does not reduce “brutality” within the church. The Pope, who described the essence of the church’s mission, said: “The insecurity of the global phenomenon is more dangerous and more explicit in the church because it contradicts its moral authority and its moral credibility.”
The Holy Father did not leave any break for misunderstanding when proving that the priority are victims of violations in all the senses and that the Church will never try to cover up or reduce any situation. “No secret abuse should be secret or less than its value (as it was usual in the past), because the cover of violations prefers evil and adds an additional level of scandal.”
Papal
He called for the emergence of the crisis by moving from the words to the facts. Jesuit was Federico Lombardi, the lines of the Holy See and the Supervisor of the Summit, who was responsible for announcing the imminent publication of the papal decree on the protection of minors and vulnerable people. In fact, these were three decrees of the Vatican Laws: Protection Law, applicable lines throughout the Pontifical state lands and a missionary message in the form of “Moto Brubro” (private will), which was announced on March 29, 2019.
Monsignor Sklona and Father Hans Hans Zolner, head of the Gregorian Pap for the Pap for the Pap for the Pap for the Pap for the Gregorian Pap for the Pap for the Gregorian, stressed that these were clear rules for protecting the rights of the victims and that they should also be explained as a model and incentive, as an ideal message, for all the dioceses in the world and even for other cases.
A report issued by the papal committee to protect the palace, recognized in October last year, that the Catholic Church still has a long way to overcome the current difficulties when facing the ecclesiastical children’s crisis. The document called for disposing of more transparency and urged to expedite civil and short operations, with a clearer procedure request to stop the bishops who suffer from misuse of minors. Of course, more reception and protection for victims. Francisco, the engineer of “punch” against ecclesiastical children, used to repeat that “there could be no mercy without correction.”
The message that determines the commitment to hide the abuse
On May 9, 2019, the Vatican took an important and strategic step in his internal struggle against sexual assault. The Apostolic Charter was announced in the form of Moto Brubro “You are Estis Lux Mondi” (you are the light of the world) for the Pope, a decree to prove measures aimed at preventing and combating “crimes that betray the confidence of the believers.” The regulations determine the obligation to condemn the cases of sexual violence for minors (with less than 18 years of age) or to vulnerable people (due to illness or physical or psychological deficiency), as well as any maneuver to hide or prevent the opposite investigation. Father Zolner stressed that this “religious commitment” by denouncing that the current clerics is one of the most important steps because it was not present anywhere in the church around the world. The decree also has proven that the dioceses have one year to provide stable systems for reports. The rules forced all the ranks. The new protocol that has been collected was collected that complaints can be directed to the head of the bishops or the same Apostle Chair and ensures the protection of the complainant, which cannot be imposed by silence. Learn the lessons of the past, what it was was to end the culture of silence and cover.
