Rome — Pope Francis'
commission on clergy sexual abuse is considering whether to restructure
itself so that it no longer includes the direct participation of abuse
survivors. It is evaluating the possibility of creating instead a
separate advisory panel of individuals who have been abused by clergy.
A member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors revealed the group's consideration of the idea in an NCR interview Aug. 14, saying that one of the commission's work groups has been tasked with weighing the pros and cons of such a change.
