  • Clerical Pedophilia by Mexicans in Mexico and Other Countries 1944-2013
    Clerical Pedophilia by Mexicans in Mexico and Other Countries 1944-2013 Report by CSOs and Mexican Nationals to the Committee on the Rights of the Child _______________________________________________ December 2013 Executive Summary Importance of the Shadow Report for the Committee on the Rights of the Child. We regard the Holy See’s appearance before the Committee on the Rights of the Child as an historic opportunity to ensure that organizations such as those in the Holy See -State - Vatican - Catholic Church - which claim their superiority and privileges over local and even international authorities and do not accept any kind of formal responsibility, as a signatory state of the Convention and the subsequent Treaties, should be addressed as being responsible for thousands of cases of sexual abuse committed in many parts of the world, for many years, due precisely to their structural behavior of protection and the complicit cover-up of abusers. They should therefore be held accountable for the violation of articles in the Convention because of their contempt and systematic violation of the rights and higher interest of girls and their preference for covering-up perpetrators rather than protecting and safeguarding victims. This institutional behavior which involved all the levels of authority of the Organization, should be regarded as a STATE CRIME by the Committee on the Rights of the Child. This will help, first and foremost, to restore the dignity and fundamental rights to victims and even enable the organization represented by the Holy See and its authorities, national authorities and all of humanity, to ensure that this type of behavior will never again be repeated in our history, by arguing and claiming to have a superior divine origin to the authorities tasked with safeguarding the rights of the world’s children.

  • Against Abuse, at the End of Historic Summit
    Pope calls for ‘all-out battle’ against abuse, at the end of historic summit The clerical sexual abuse crisis has caused “serious scandal” in the Catholic Church and in society “because of the dramatic suffering of the victims, as well as the unjustifiable lack of attention to them” and attempts by Church leaders to cover up the crimes of the guilty, Pope Francis said. Speaking to the public, including dozens of abuse survivors, after his midday recitation of the Angelus Feb. 24, the pope promised measures to ensure children would be safe in the church and that the crime of abuse would stop. The pope’s remarks came just an hour after he concluded the Vatican’s Feb. 21-24 summit on child protection and the clerical abuse scandal. In his talk concluding the summit, Pope Francis said the Catholic Church would focus on eight priorities: the protection of children; “impeccable seriousness” in dealing with clerical sexual abuse; genuine purification and acknowledgment of past failures; improved training for priests and religious; strengthening and continually reviewing the guidelines of national bishops’ conferences; assisting victims of clerical sexual abuse; working to end the abuse and exploitation of children and young people online; and working with civil authorities to end sex tourism. The summit brought together Pope Francis and 190 church leaders – presidents of bishops’ conferences, the heads of the Eastern Catholic churches, superiors of men’s and women’s religious orders and Roman Curia officials – for four days of listening to speeches, survivors’ testimonies, discussions in small groups, a penitential liturgy and Mass.

  • Nuncio to Mexico Says Abuse Cases Previously ‘
    Nuncio to Mexico says abuse cases previously ‘covered up’ MEXICO CITY (CNS) — Mexican Church officials previously “covered up” cases of clerical sexual abuse, a situation the Vatican ambassador to Mexico said has changed as Catholic leaders increasingly follow a zero-tolerance policy promoted by Pope Francis. Archbishop Franco Coppola, apostolic nuncio, told the Spanish news agency EFE that 271 cases of alleged sexual abuse committed by clergy have been investigated over the past decade. Of those cases, 103 priests have been removed from their positions, 45 priests have been suspended and 123 cases are still open. “I seriously think there were people who covered up (cases) with bad intentions,” Archbishop Coppola told EFE on May 19. “I want to think there were also people who covered up (cases) without realizing the seriousness of it.” An official with the apostolic nuncio’s office in Mexico City told Catholic News Service the comments published by EFE were correct. The nuncio’s comments offered a candid acknowledgment of the crimes of clerical abuse committed against children in Mexico — long downplayed as a problem by the bishops’ conference or seen as a problem of “Anglo” dioceses. Accusations of covering up the crimes committed by priests also have been common — with complaints of inaction or cover- up in cases implicating the most senior prelates. The Mexican Church’s inaction on the crimes of Father Marcial Maciel Degollado, founder of the Legionaries of Christ — who died disgraced after having been ordered to lead a life of prayer and penance — caused scandal as he wielded enormous influence among the country’s Catholic and business elite.

    BISHOPACCOUNTABILITY.ORG ____________________________________________________________________________________ Ash Wednesday 2014 BishopAccountability.org Box 541375 Waltham MA 02454 His Eminence Cardinal Sean O’Malley, O.F.M.Cap. Archbishop of Boston Pastoral Center 66 Brooks Drive Braintree MA 02184-3839 Your Eminence, We are writing to express our concern regarding the interview with Pope Francis in Corriere della Sera and La Nacion, and to ask for your help in mitigating the interview’s effects. In his remarks, as you know, Pope Francis unfortunately represents the Church as the victim in the sexual abuse crisis, enduring attacks despite its “transparency” and “accountability,” which Francis characterizes as perhaps second to none. He personally praises Pope Benedict, while not even personally mentioning the victims of abuse, whose “cases” are terrible, Pope Francis says, and whose “statistics” are impressive. The Holy Father’s impersonal treatment of the church’s own victims is sadly in keeping with his failure, during the first year of his pontificate, to act on the scourge of clergy abuse or meet with a single victim. The victims themselves cannot help but notice that Pope Francis has met with many people of all kinds, and has been praised for his humble and accessible ways. Is there something about the victims of sexual abuse by priests and religious that disqualifies them from the Holy Father’s kindness and regard? As you know, Pope Benedict served a hard apprenticeship at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 2001–2005, when he spent his Fridays reading the abuse files. He called it his penance. His secretary, Bishop Charles Scicluna, spent long hours talking with the victims of Fr.

    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 349 December 2020 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 349 December 2020 Pope Francis Appoints Rev. Ivan Camilleri as Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Toronto TORONTO (28 November 2020) – Pope Francis has appointed Fr. Ivan Camilleri as auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Toronto. Following his episcopal ordination, the new bishop will join three auxiliary bishops currently assisting the Archbishop of Toronto, Cardinal Thomas Collins, in serving the faithful of the Archdiocese of Toronto. Bishop-designate Camilleri commented on the appointment from the Holy Father: “I am very humbled by the trust that Pope Francis and Cardinal Collins have placed in me to serve the Archdiocese of Toronto in this ministry. I am grateful to His Eminence for his leadership and support, and I look forward to serving him and the people of the archdiocese in this way.” Cardinal Collins welcomed the announcement: “I am most grateful to Pope Francis for the appointment of Bishop-designate Camilleri as the newest Auxiliary Bishop in our archdiocese. He knows the community well and has been a tremendous source of support during my time as archbishop. I welcome him to the episcopacy and invite the priests of the archdiocese as well as the faithful to pray for him as he prepares for this new chapter of ministry.” Fr. Camilleri was born April 18, 1969 in Sliema, Malta. His family moved to Canada in 1980. He studied at Laurentian University earning a Bachelor of Commerce and then at The Edinburgh Business School earning a Master of Business Administration. After some years working in finance, he entered the seminary in 2001, completing a Bachelor of Sacred Theology and a Master of Divinity.
