Pope Asks for Annual Report on Abuse Prevention; Asks Pontifical Commission to Produce the Report

 Pope Francis has asked the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors to produce an annual report on what the Church is doing around the world to prevent the sexual abuse of minors and vulnerable adults, the Catholic News website reports today (May 2, 2022).


In an audience at the Vatican on April 29, the pope called on the commission to produce the annual audit to promote "transparency and accountability."


"This might be difficult at the beginning, but I ask you to begin when necessary, in order to furnish a reliable account on what is presently being done and what needs to change, so that the competent authorities can act," he said.
