With the release of their Pilot Annual Report, the President of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors highlights the Church’s concern with pairing justice with healing and also the need to educate people on “how common these crimes are in our world.”The Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors’ Pilot Annual Report stresses the Church’s role in educating people on the crime of abuse.
Vatican News: Your Eminence, thank you for joining us this morning. As you prepare to release the first annual report on safeguarding, can you give us an overview? A big part of that is an account of the ten years of the Commission. Is that part of the legacy of the Commission going forward?Well, I think it’s a very important moment for us. This is actually sort of the third iteration of the renewal of membership in the Commission since the beginning.
Vatican News: I want to ask one specific question about the report. There will be lots of questions and a lot of development in the days and weeks to come. The Church seems to focus a great deal on safeguarding and this of course is the priority making sure that this doesn’t happen again as much as possible. When it does happen, dealing with it and addressing those things. But the report also mentions issues of justice and reparation.
Vatican News: You’ve kind of alluded to the fact that perhaps some in the Church are not enthusiastic about the work that you do. We see sometimes the Commission will make suggestions about best practices or about what can be done for victims. And perhaps people in the Church simply don’t listen to you.
Vatican News: And briefly, in a word, what does the Report have to say to victims and to faithful Catholics who are still concerned about how the Church is responding to abuse?I’m hoping that the very breadth of the document will be a consolation to them. I know some people are expecting some kind of an exposé type. That’s not what this is about.
