VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican will gather senior bishops from around the world later this week for a conference on sex abuse designed to guide them on how best to tackle a problem that has decimated the Church’s credibility, but critics say it is too little, too late.

The unprecedented four-day meeting, starting on Thursday, brings together presidents of national Roman Catholic bishops conferences, Vatican officials, experts and heads of male and female religious orders.

“I am absolutely convinced that our credibility in this area is at stake,” said Father Federico Lombardi, who Pope Francis has chosen to moderate the meeting.

I saw there was already an article on this but this seems to have a bit more analysis. It’s depressing.

Mexico has suffered from this, this article came out in the last 2 weeks:


For the record, Priests have also suffered great persecution in Mexico, actually in the last few years.


There is certainly a lot of suffering going on, we need to pray about this.

The writing is already on the wall. The US bishops were told to wait, this high level meeting was called, McCarrick was defrocked, and Fr Lombardi has publicly stated that credibility is on the line. Just all that wins some credibility.

Whatever comes out of the conference will probably take time to unfold, organize and implement.
