The crossroads of the church – El Ancasti

The badessment regarding the summit on badual abuse in the Catholic Church that ended Monday in the Vatican will vary depending on the perspective of the badysis. For the organizers, including the personal mentor of the meeting, Pope Francis, it was a concrete step forward promoted by the Church itself as part of a long process. but necessary to fight against this scourge. For the victims of the abuses, which number in the thousands, it was not the franc they expected.

190 cardinals, bishops, priests and nuns from all over the world attended the meeting. The denunciations and convictions of priests and nuns for badual abuse, the great majority of whom against minors, have multiplied so that they fear that another character of doctrinal character be dominant in the ecclesial fold.
Some countries have made progress in investigating these cases. In Germany, for example, more than 3,600 complaints have been lodged against members of the Church over the last 70 years. In Argentina, nearly 70 complaints against priests for badual crimes have been filed since 2002. Three cases are currently pending in Catamarca.

Coincidentally, at the meeting of the Holy See, it was known that the third man of power in the Vatican, George Pell, had been found guilty of badually abusing more than twenty years ago two boys of the Altar of 12 and 13 years at a celebration at St. Peter's Cathedral. Patrick, Melbourne, Australia. The verdict was issued on December 11, but for legal reasons, it was released Monday.
The overwhelming evidence has prevented the Church from continuing to omit the opening of a major debate on the subject. At the top, the testimonies of women abused by priests were heard. That in a male dominated field where these voices were present implies an unthinkable advance only a few years ago.

Another highlight of the meeting, which highlights the seriousness of the situation, was the admission of bishops and cardinals whom the Church of several countries was responsible for destroying the records documenting the ecclesial abuse. This proves that within the institution two opposite currents coexist: one who seeks to permanently mask the veil concealed by these aberrations and one who prefers to mask them to avoid wear of the image of the image. Church before the citizens of the world. At this junction, you are currently.

The debate does not only happen in the Vatican: it also crosses local churches. In Catamarca, no strong statement has been made in this regard, even though there is a resounding silence on cases involving diocesan priests.
During the summit, Francisco was in favor of wearing the veil: I would like to clearly reaffirm that if the Church discovered a single case of abuse, which is already a monstrosity, such a case should be treated with the utmost seriousness. The purpose of the Church is to listen to, protect and care for abused, exploited, forgotten children. It does not matter where they are.
We will have to see if the declamation is done in practice. not
