Child sexual abuse campaigner Damian De Marco has urged Pope Francis
to release cardinals from an oath that may restrict them from speaking
out about child sexual abuse.
In an open letter to the pontiff, the 2015 ACT Local Hero and Bravehearts ambassador said the oath all new cardinals must swear, which prohibits them from disclosing information which could damage the Roman Catholic Church, is "inappropriate" due to the church's history of concealing child sexual abuse.
