One of the members of Pope Francis' commission on issues of clergy
sexual abuse has responded to the controversy sparked by the group's
decision to ask another of its members to take a leave of absence from
their work.
Marie Collins, an Irish abuse survivor who is one of the 17 members of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, writes Wednesday in a statement for NCR that the leave of absence request arose after a "difference in understanding of the mission and the powers" of the group.
