Pope Meets with Child Protection Advisory Board Amid Abuse Scandal
- Pope Leo XIV held a one-hour meeting at the Apostolic Palace on Thursday with members of the Vatican’s commission dedicated to protecting minors.
- The meeting took place amid scrutiny of Leo’s previous involvement in cases of abuse by clergy and calls from survivors for the implementation of a comprehensive zero-tolerance policy on abuse.
- The commission, led by Cardinal Seán O'Malley who retired as Boston’s archbishop last year, reported on global safeguarding initiatives and helped victims.
- Two dozen women accused ex-Jesuit artist Rev. Marko Rupnik of decades-long abuse, prompting Pope Francis to order canonical prosecution in 2023, but justice remains pending.
- The meeting marked a moment to renew the Church’s safeguarding commitment while survivor groups push for adopting permanent removal of credibly accused priests.
