Child protection experts from five continents began talks in the Vatican
on Friday at the first full meeting of the Pontifical Commission for
the Protection of Minors. The 17 member Commission was established by
Pope Francis in 2014 and includes a range of professional men and women,
together with survivors who were sexually abused by priests during
their childhoods.
One of the founding members is German Jesuit Father Hans Zollner, head of the Institute of Psychology at Rome’s Gregorian University and director of its Centre for the Protection of Minors. He talked to Philippa Hitchen about the huge challenges facing the Commission and about the difficulties of tackling the broader issues of abuse of power within the Church today..
