Pope taps Chilean sex abuse whistleblower for Vatican panel
Fox News
Cruz is the newest member of a panel that will continue to review cases and claims of sex abuse by priests.
Cruz and other survivors of a prominent Chilean predator priest were invited by the pope in 2018 to discuss their cases with him. Decades of sex abuse scandals in many countries, including allegations that church officials covered up the wrongdoing of priests, have eroded the Catholic Church’s credibility among the faithful. Cruz was the main whistleblower on clerical abuse and coverup in his homeland, one of the more high-profile sex abuse scandals.More Related News
