Pope Francis to Bishops: Don’t
Protect Abusers
Pope Francis sent bishops and
other Catholic Church officials a letter this
week, telling them that they should prioritize
the protection of children above concerns
“such as the desire to avoid scandal.”
The pope, who has previously said
sexual abuse by priests is as evil as
performing a “satanic mass,” delivered his
message as the church attempts to improve
its reputation and protection of children
after years of sexual molestation cover-ups.
From 2011 to ’12, the Vatican
defrocked nearly 400 priests who abused
children, according to numbers compiled by
The Associated Press. While several
bishops resigned in connection with sex
abuse cases, few have been disciplined for
ignoring offenders’ behavior or even
intervening to protect them.
In March, Francis established a
commission to protect children from abuse
in the church. In his letter, he stressed that
bishops and others should follow church
instructions to cooperate with civil
authorities, ensure prospective priests are
committed to chastity and celibacy, and
listen to victims and their families.
“Families need to know that the
Church is making every effort to protect
their children. They should also know that
they have every right to turn to the Church
with full confidence, for it is a safe and
secure home,” the pope wrote.
“Consequently, priority must not be given to
any other kind of concern, whatever its
nature, such as the desire to avoid scandal,
since there is absolutely no place in
ministry for those who abuse minors.”
