Il n’a pas l’ambition de faire le tour du vaste problème des abus sexuels au sein de l’Église catholique. • La première partie évoque la vague de révélations concernant les abus sexuels par- tie des États-Unis vers l’Europe pour toucher finalement aussi le tiers monde. Elle résume la manière dont certains pays ont répondu aux demandes des victimes. Elle rappelle brièvement l’attitude et les réactions de l’Église catholique. Elle s'interroge sur les facteurs qui ont pu favoriser de si nombreux abus et qui inquiètent encore aujourd’hui des prêtres, des religieux, mais aussi les fidèles.

Vtedy sa objaví na nebi znak kríža a z otvorov, kde boli prebodnuté ruky a nohy Spasiteľa, bude vychádzať veľké svetlo, ktoré bude po nejaký čas osvetľovať zem.
