Pope Leo XIV during his return flight from France, September 28, 2026.
与教宗良十四世会面的性虐待受害者确信他确实说过这番话。然而，在9月28日星期一晚上，即在法国度过四天紧张行程后返回罗马的航班上，良十四世澄清了他的立场：不，他并未确切承认教会内性虐待的“系统性”本质。
The victims of sexual abuse who met with Pope Leo XIV were certain he had said it. Yet on Monday evening, September 28, aboard the flight taking him back to Rome after four intense days in France, Leo XIV clarified his stance: No, he did not precisely acknowledge the "systemic" nature of sexual abuse in the Church.
前一天，在法国西南部主要的天主教朝圣地露德，与教宗会面的受害者们表示，教宗对虐待系统性本质的承认是明确的。“从他的角度来看，施害者当然是个人，”周日在新闻发布会上，与教宗会面的受害者之一热罗姆·吉永（Jérôme Guillement）解释道。“但从他的角度来看，让他们得以滋生的是过去存在且现在依然存在的系统性本质。”
The previous day in Lourdes, a major Catholic pilgrimage site in southwestern France, victims who had met with the pope presented his recognition of the systemic nature of abuse as unequivocal. "From his perspective, the perpetrators are individuals, certainly," explained Jérôme Guillement, one of the victims the pontiff met with, speaking at a press conference on Sunday. "But, from his perspective, what allows them to thrive is the systemic nature that has existed and still exists." On Monday, the pope explained his position:
周一，教宗阐述了他的立场：“我想说，无意与任何人矛盾，我认为这非常重要，首先我想说的是，在与那七名受害者会面时，我请他们帮助我向其他受害者表达我和教会的意愿，即倾听他们，并在他们寻求治愈的过程中与他们同行，承认虐待情况给他们生活带来的痛苦。”
"I would say, without wanting to contradict anyone, as I think it is very important, I would first of all like to say that in meeting with those seven victims, I had asked them to also help me to express to other victims the willingness, myself and of the Church, to listen and to walk with them as they look for healing, recognizing the pain that has been caused in their lives because of situations of abuse."
