The Vatican says Pope Leo XIV will meet with survivors of clergy sexual abuse during his upcoming trip to Latin America.
罗马——梵蒂冈周二表示,教宗良十四世将在即将到来的拉丁美洲之行期间会见神职人员性侵行为的幸存者。这位美国籍教宗的行程将包括乌拉圭、阿根廷和秘鲁。
ROME —Pope Leo XIV will meet with survivors of clergy sexual abuse during his upcoming trip to Latin America, which will take the American pope to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru, the Vatican said Tuesday.
梵蒂冈的声明没有说明这些会面将于何时何地举行,但表示“计划举行数次会面”,暗示会面不止一次。此次行程定于11月6日至17日进行,尽管良十四世10月13日接受了肺癌手术、一度令此行存疑,行程仍按计划推进。
The Vatican statement didn’t say when the encounters would take place or where, but said “several meetings are planned,” suggesting more than one encounter. The Nov. 6-17 trip is going ahead as planned despite Leo’s Oct. 13 lung cancer surgery which had put the trip in question.
延续其两位前任的做法,良十四世今年6月在西班牙会见了性侵幸存者,最近一次则是在法国。在法国之行前,梵蒂冈提前确认了此次会面,而非像以往那样在会面结束后才公布。
Continuing the practice of his two recent predecessors, Leo met with abuse survivors in June in Spain and most recently in France Ahead of the French trip, the Vatican confirmed the meeting ahead of time rather than after it took place, as had been the previous practice.
梵蒂冈周二的声明称:“这些会面体现了教宗的意愿:向那些因这种暴力而遭受痛苦、并仍在遭受痛苦的人表达声援,与他们携手开辟任何有需要的人都能获得的疗愈之路,并确保教会是一个安全、精神健康的地方,践行并传播福音。”
“These meetings reflect the pope’s desire to express his solidarity with those who have suffered and continue to suffer as a result of this violence, to work with them to build paths to healing that are accessible to anyone in need, and to ensure that the church is a safe and spiritually healthy place that lives out and communicates the Gospel,” according to a Vatican statement Tuesday.
良十四世曾在秘鲁作为传教士神父度过二十年,亲眼目睹了性侵对受害者的影响。他曾在秘鲁主教团中担任指定主教,负责听取一个颇具影响力但存在性侵行为的运动组织“基督生命友爱会”受害者的陈述。
Leo spent two decades as a missionary priest in Peru, and he saw first-hand the effects of abuse on victims. He was the designated bishop in the Peruvian bishops conference to hear from victims of an influential but abusive movement, the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae.
时任枢机主教罗伯特·普雷沃斯特随后在教宗方济各2025年决定取缔该组织的过程中发挥了关键作用。
The former Cardinal Robert Prevost then was instrumental in Pope Francis’ decision in 2025 to suppress the movement.
方济各的祖国阿根廷在性侵问题上经历了痛苦的清算,当地受害者一直要求梵蒂冈采取行动,包括处理方济各本人牵涉其中的案件。
Francis’ native Argentina, for its part, has had a wretched reckoning with abuse and victims there have been demanding action from the Vatican, including to address cases in which Francis was personally involved.
