After recent media reports suggested the Vatican is telling bishops to
cover up sexual abuse, the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of
Minors has said that reporting abuse is not just a civil responsibility,
but a moral one.
“The crimes and sins of the sexual abuse of children must not be kept secret for any longer. I pledge the zealous vigilance of the Church to protect children and the promise of accountability for all,” Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley, president of the commission, said in a Feb. 15 statement, quoting Pope Francis.
