“Serious and false”: the response of the Diocese of Cádiz to accusations of abuse against its bishop

The allegations first appeared in «El País», a newspaper known for its persistent scrutiny of the Catholic Church. The publication has long been criticized by Church officials and media analysts for what they describe as ideological bias and methodological flaws in its reporting on abuse cases

The Vatican presents its second report on combating abuse, and this is what it says

This second report builds on the structure of last year’s inaugural edition but goes further, both in scope and tone. Developed through consultation with survivor groups from four continents, as well as with non-ecclesial organizations, it exposes enduring gaps: the absence of clear structures for reporting, the unevenness of procedures between dioceses, and the persistent sense among many survivors that the Church still struggles to truly listen
