The
commission has recognised its duty to create policies with global
application, which send very clear messages about what must be done
everywhere in the world. We have seen that it is capable of this",
writes Nuala O'Loan.
Pope Francis established the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, because, he said,
“Many painful actions have caused a profound examination
of conscience for the entire Church, leading us to request forgiveness
from the victims and from our society for the harm that has been caused.
This response to these actions is the firm beginning for initiatives of
many different types, which are intended to repair the damage, to
attain justice, and to prevent, by all means possible, the recurrence of
similar incidents in the future.”
