French PM meets Pope Francis after devastating clerical child sex abuse report

French Prime Minister Jean https://www.metal-archives.com/users/alizaothy Castex met Pope Francis at the Vatican on Monday as the French Catholic Church battles a storm over clerical child sex abuse and the sanctity of confession. Castex was visiting the Vatican and Rome for celebrations marking the centenary of the restoration of diplomatic https://ello.co/alizaothy/post/cojawzkj1diboa6qgrzeqg relations between France and the Holy See.

The prime minister gave https://visual.ly/community/Infographics/business/green-otter-cbd-gummies the pope, a keen soccer fan, an unusual gift: a Paris-Saint Germain jersey signed by the pontiff's fellow Argentine Lionel Messi. Castex presented the glass-framed number 30 jersey following 35 minutes of private talks at the Vatican. The French premier also gave the pope a more traditional gift – an 1836 edition of "Notre Dame de Paris", Victor Hugo's http://www.authorstream.com/alizaothy/ classic novel about the hunchbacked bell ringer Quasimodo set in Paris in 1482.

The long-planned https://letterboxd.com/alizaothy/ trip to Rome, which includes talks with Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, follows the publication of a devastating report estimating that French Catholic clergy had abused 216,000 children since 1950. Pope Francis, who has made battling the global scourge of clerical abuse a priority of his papacy, has expressed "my https://worldcosplay.net/member/1005589 shame, our shame" at the findings, echoing a similar sentiment from French church leaders.

However, a row broke https://stocktwits.com/alizaothy out earlier this month when Archbishop Eric de Moulins-Beaufort, the head of the Bishops' Conference of France, said priests were not obliged to report sexual abuse if they heard about it during the Catholic ritual of confession, used to admit to sins. His words were in line with https://online.fliphtml5.com/lgymf/uyjs/#p=1 Vatican guidelines updated last year, which call on clerics to report claims of abuse. They say confession is subject to "the strictest bond of the sacramental seal", while saying the confessor should try https://aliza-othy.webflow.io/ and convince the penitent to tell someone else.

In France, victims' https://www.fimfiction.net/user/459676/alizaothy advocates pointed out that French law recognises professional confidentiality for priests, but it does not apply in potentially criminal cases involving violence or sexual assault against minors. Moulins-Beaufort was called to a meeting with Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, https://slides.com/alizaothy/green-otter-cbd-gummies/fullscreen#/0/2 and later insisted that protecting children was "an absolute priority".

Darmanin accompanied https://git.qt.io/alizaothy Castex and French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian to the Vatican, touring the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica after their meeting with the pope. Pope Francis on Wednesday expressed his personal shame and that of the Church at the sexual abuse of children by French Catholic clergy, after the scale of the problem https://www.forexfactory.com/alizaothy was laid bare in a devastating report.

"I wish to express to the https://www.designspiration.com/alizaothy/ victims my sadness and pain for the trauma they have suffered," he said during his weekly audience at the Vatican. "And also my shame, our shame, my shame for the inability of the Church for too long to put them at the centre of its concerns. "I pray and we all pray together -- to https://www.folkd.com/user/alizaothy you Lord the glory, to us the shame. This is the time for shame."

An independent commission https://www.bakespace.com/members/profile/alizaothy/1371612/ on Tuesday revealed that French Catholic clergy sexually abused around 216,000 minors over seven decades since 1950, a "massive phenomenon" that was covered up by a "veil of silence". The commission's two-and-a-half-year inquiry and 2,500-page report prompted outrage as the Catholic Church in France and around the world faces a growing number of  https://www.starnow.com/alizaothy/ abuse claims and prosecutions.

Dealing with the avalanche https://www.bitsdujour.com/profiles/MlQV5E of revelations about sexual abuse by clergy was one of the biggest challenges that Francis faced when he was elected pope in 2013. He declared an end to impunity and changed Vatican law to make reporting abuse mandatory, but victims have warned it is not enough. Francis expressed his sorrow for the victims in a statement Tuesday issued through his spokesman, but his comments https://www.theloop.com.au/alizaothy/portfolio/Graphic-Designer/Sydney on Wednesday went further.

He urged the clergy to https://www.classifiedads.com/office_services/9z656x03m38xx keep working to ensure such situations "are not repeated", offering his support to French priests to face up to "this trial that is hard but healthy". And he invited French Catholics to "assume their responsibilities to ensure that the Church is a safe home for all". The report found that the "vast majority" of victims were pre-adolescent boys from a variety of social backgrounds. https://www.affilorama.com/member/alizaothy Their abusers were mainly priests, bishops, deacons and monks.

When claims against https://www.funadvice.com/alizaothy lay members of the Church, such as teachers at Catholic schools, are included the number of child abuse victims climbs to 330,000 since 1950, the report found. "Until the early 2000s, the Catholic Church showed a profound and even cruel indifference towards the victims," commission chief Jean-Marc https://www.businesslistings.net.au/CBD_Gummies/New_York/Green_Otter_CBD_Gummies/666760.aspx Sauve told a press conference that unveiled the nearly 2,500-page report.

Archbishop Eric https://paper.li/xjjO1bk5cS7dHWUtUH1Dq de Moulins-Beaufort, president of the Bishops' Conference of France (CEF), which co-requested the report, expressed his "shame and horror" at the findings. "My wish today is to ask forgiveness from each of you," he told the news conference. Sauve had already told AFP on Sunday that a "minimum estimate" https://halipixbuy.freeforums.net/thread/7/green-otter-cbd-gummies of 2,900 to 3,200 clergy members had sexually abused children in the French Church since 1950.

Yet only a handful of cases https://www.xen-factory.com/index.php?members/alizaothy.17876/#about prompted disciplinary action under canonical law, let alone criminal prosecution. The commission began its work after Pope Francis vowed to address abuse by priests in May 2019, ordering people aware of cases to report them to Church officials. The Catholic Church apologized "unequivocally" on Friday to Canada's indigenous peoples for a century https://www.backpageladies.com/fetishes/green-otter-cbd-gummies_30920 of abuses at church-run residential schools set up by the government to assimilate children into the mainstream.

But indigenous https://forum.tracerplus.com/members/alizaothy.7645/#about leaders are still awaiting a mea culpa from the pope himself. "We, the Catholic Bishops of Canada, express our profound remorse and apologize unequivocally," read a statement, in which they said they were "fully committed" to reconciliation. The move follows recent discoveries, which convulsed Canada, of some 1,200 unmarked graves at three sites where indigenous children https://myworldgo.com/profile/alizaothy were forced to attend the schools.

In total, some 150,000 Indian, https://alizaothy.tumblr.com/post/665202398552375296/green-otter-cbd-gummies Metis and Inuit children were enrolled from the late 1800s to the 1990s in 139 of the residential schools across Canada, spending months or years isolated from the families. The solemn commemoration for the thousands of indigenous children who died or went missing from the schools was set by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who said in https://www.producthunt.com/@aliza_othy June that Canadians were "horrified and ashamed of how our country behaved."

In the statement, the https://makeagif.com/gif/green-otter-cbd-gummies-_QBMye?ref=crBbdj bishops said they "acknowledge the suffering experienced" by indigenous students and the "grave abuses" inflicted upon them, including "physical, psychological, emotional, spiritual, cultural, and sexual" mistreatment at the hands of headmasters and https://www.spreaker.com/show/green-otter-cbd-gummies_1 teachers. "Many Catholic religious communities and dioceses participated in this system, which led to the suppression of Indigenous languages, culture and spirituality, https://angel.co/u/aliza-othy failing to respect the rich history, traditions and wisdom of Indigenous Peoples," they said.

"We also sorrowfully https://create.piktochart.com/output/56332816-my-visual acknowledge the historical and ongoing trauma and the legacy of suffering and challenges faced by Indigenous Peoples that continue to this day." A truth and reconciliation commission concluded the failed government policy amounted to "cultural genocide." Today, the residential school experiences are blamed for a high incidence of poverty, alcoholism and domestic violence, https://www.instapaper.com/p/9641785 as well as high suicide rates, in Canada's indigenous communities.

Searches for https://sketchfab.com/alizaothy more possible grave sites using ground penetrating radar continue after discoveries in British Columbia and Saskatchewan provinces. Meanwhile, tribes are trying to piece together old documents that might help identify the https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/65919643/green-otter-cbd-gummies deceased in the unmarked graves and shed light on the fate of others who never returned home.

The bishops committed https://www.deviantart.com/billoroy0/art/Green-Otter-CBD-Gummies-895041629?ga_submit_new=10%3A1634387571 to "providing documentation or records (requested by tribes) that will assist in the memorialization of those buried in unmarked graves." Indigenous groups and leaders have also called for a papal apology for the Church's role in the residential schools, with backing from Trudeau who has said he personally implored Pope Francis to https://coub.com/alizaothy "make an apology to indigenous Canadians on Canadian soil."

Indigenous leaders https://speakerdeck.com/alizaothy have said an apology from the church is welcomed, but it would be more meaningful coming from the pope himself. A delegation of Canadian indigenous peoples is scheduled to travel to the Vatican in December to meet with the pope. In the meantime, the bishops said they would work with the Vatican and indigenous leaders to try https://www.magcloud.com/user/alizaothy to schedule a papal visit to Canada "as part of this healing journey."
