“We are doing everything possible” to fight pedocrime in the Church, Pope Francis assured on Sunday, while at the same time expressing regret that some people in the institution “still do not see clearly”, according to AFP, according to Agerpres.

“For a priest, (sexual) violence contradicts his priestly and social nature. That is why it is a tragic thing and we must not stop” to fight this disaster, the Pope said during a press conference on the plane as he returned from a visit to Bahrain.

“We are doing our best, but inside the Church there are people who do not see clearly yet (…) This is a constant process that we carry out with courage, and not everyone has such courage,” he added.

“Some things were hidden, before the Boston scandal we changed people (we moved priests – no). Now everything is clear and we are moving forward on this topic,” he added, referring to a series of revelations in the early 2000s in the United States.

Despite the “temptation of compromise”, “the desire of the Church is to clarify everything”, he also assured, clarifying that “the Church should be ashamed of the bad, at the same time thank God for the good that it has done”. “.

Pope Francis made such comments in response to a question about the possibility of making canonical sanctions public for greater transparency.
