February 20.- The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) noted that in 2018, it had received twice as many complaints of aggression as in 2017, which represented 900 missives out of the 410 received two years ago with clbadification of delicta graviora, referring to the crimes of child abuse and misappropriation.

Among the allegations are cases of abuse committed in men over 14 years old from Latin America. What surprised the Congregation is the comparison with the figures of the previous year, because the increase could be caused by the crisis that runs through the Church

These incidents forced CDFs to increase investigative staff and to strengthen the Church's credibility with important figures such as Scicluna, who has the pope's absolute trust in the area of ​​abuse.
