法国遭受神职人员性侵的幸存者表示,教宗利奥此次来访提醒人们,天主教会正深陷其最严重的危机之一。
For survivors of clerical sexual abuse in France, Pope Leo's visit is a reminder of one of the Catholic Church's deepest crises.
菲利普·谢米诺(Philippe Chemineau)称,自己幼年时曾遭一名神父侵犯。他认为,告解制度所伴随的隐秘性助长了性侵行为。
Philippe Chemineau said he was abused by a priest as a child, and argues that the secrecy surrounding confession helped enable abuse.
教宗此次来访期间将与一小群幸存者会面,但围绕天主教会应如何面对过去的性侵行为并保护儿童的争论,仍远未得出结论。
As the pope meets with a small group of survivors during his visit, the debate over how the Catholic Church should confront past abuses and protect children remains far from settled.
