Pope Francis says the Church must face the “shame” of child sexual abuse, which he described once again as a “scourge”, with Christian humility and make every effort to ensure it never happens again.Join HERALD’s reforestation project for a greener future!The sexual abuse of children is “our shame and humiliation”, Pope Francis said on Friday, insisting that the Church “must be ashamed and try to resolve the situation with Christian humility and make every effort so this doesn’t happen again”.
The Pope insisted that the Church cannot make excuses, even if the majority of abuse occurs in families or schools. “In the Church, we must ask forgiveness for this,” he said. “This is our shame and our humiliation”. The Pope prayed that the Church would never conform to misguided views of the predominant culture, “even when that culture uses, in a manipulative way, values derived from the Gospel, drawing from it inauthentic conclusions that cause suffering and exclusion”.Speaking prior to the Holy Father, King Philip of Belgium also addressed the abuse crisis, noting the Pope’s condemnation, “in the strongest possible terms”, of the “unspeakable tragedy of sexual abuse within the Church”.
