Juan Cuatrecasas & Pope Leo XVI

Juan Cuatrecasas: Juan Cuatrecasas, a spokesperson for the Robbed Childhood association, expressed skepticism about the Pope's meeting with survivors, stating that the chosen victims do not represent all survivors and are being used to clean up the image of the Spanish Church.

Pope Leo XVI: Pope Leo XVI met with six survivors of clergy sexual abuse in Madrid and vowed to consider their suggestions for improving the Catholic Church's response to the crisis. He also reaffirmed the right of the Catholic Church to maintain confessional secrecy, which has drawn criticism from abuse investigations.
