The Vatican's new commission for protecting children from sexual abuse holds
its first meeting in Rome on Friday. Pope Francis should immediately hand over to
the police all the Vatican documents on Catholic priests accused of
sexually abusing children and “cast out the vipers” who are still being
protected by the Church, a British survivor of clerical abuse said.
The Catholic Church needs to end decades of obfuscation and cover-ups by fully cooperating with civil authorities
around the world instead of protecting abusive priests, moving them
from parish to parish or subjecting them only to canon law, said Peter
Saunders.
