ROME—The Vatican said Saturday that the Roman Catholic Church faces a test of “moral credibility” in confronting a global sexual-abuse crisis, which has shaken the papacy of Pope Benedict XVI.

In an address on Vatican Radio, Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi highlighted the recent media scrutiny of the church’s handling of sexual-abuse cases.
