O asociație cere anularea slujbei Papei la Paris, invocând cazurile de violență sexuală comise în cadrul Bisericii Catolice

An association advocating against child violence is seeking to cancel Pope Leo XIV's mass in Paris, citing the dignity of sexual abuse victims within the Catholic Church. They filed an appeal to the Administrative Court of Paris, arguing that the Church should not gain public visibility without acknowledging the victims. The organization highlights the estimated 216,000 minors abused by clergy from 1950 to 2020, which rises to 330,000 when including laypersons. They emphasize that their action is not against believers but questions the recognition of victims in such significant events. The mass is scheduled for September 26, and they express concern that any ruling may come too late to address the dignity of the victims.
