00:00Cardinal Paraline, as Secretary of State,

00:03é responsável por bloquear

00:06o acesso

00:08a abuso files por autoridades

00:11em países em países all over the world.

00:14Prosecutors e governos inquiries

00:16em poland, em australia,

00:19em unidade de kingdom, em bolívia,

00:22em chile,

00:23have all pedido o Holy See

00:25to release information to them

00:29about abusers

00:31in those countries

00:33who have raped and sexually assaulted children

00:36in those countries.

00:38That is information about sex crimes

00:42that belongs to those countries,

00:44but the Holy See says,

00:46no, we will not give you that information,

00:50and the person responsible

00:51for that decision

00:53is Cardinal Pietro Paraline.

00:56He is a secret keeper.

01:00That was one of his main tasks

01:03as Secretary of State of the Vatican.

01:06That is our primary concern about him

01:09because we need the next pope

01:10to be forthcoming about sex crimes,

01:13to be willing to reveal

01:14the names of the priests

01:16found guilty under church law,

01:17and there is absolutely no indication

01:21that Cardinal Paraline

01:23will practice transparency.

01:29Cardinal Tagley seems to have

01:32a clear understanding

01:33of how wounded victims are

01:35and also the culpability of bishops.

01:39I commend him for that,

01:40but he has no understanding

01:42of what the solution is.

01:44He has publicly advocated

01:46for solving the crisis

01:47behind closed doors.

01:50This is disaster.

01:51I believe he is a nice man,

01:54but I think his papacy

01:56would be terrible for victims

01:58and dangerous for children

02:00because you cannot solve this crisis

02:03behind closed doors.

02:05Secrecy favors perpetrators,

02:08and it hurts victims,

02:09and it hurts children.

02:11And I think Cardinal Tagley,

02:12with his aversion

02:15to names in the media

02:19and justice in the court system,

02:23I think it would be a disaster.

02:32Pope Francis made

02:34some small constructive changes.

02:36He criminalized the sexual abuse

02:39of vulnerable adults.

02:40That was a very important reform,

02:42probably the most important thing

02:43he's done.

02:45He also criminalized retaliation

02:48against whistleblowers

02:49and the gagging of victims.

02:51And he purportedly

02:55said that he would hold

02:57bishops accountable.

02:58He had an accountability law

03:00that detailed procedures

03:02for reporting and investigating bishops.

03:04It has proved to have little impact

03:07because it just involved,

03:10it was an internal

03:11self-policing system

03:13with absolutely no obligation

03:16to inform the public of anything.

03:18In a way,

03:18it was just a continuation

03:19of old policies

03:21with a new name.

03:22What we needed Pope Francis to do

03:24is what he refused to do,

03:26which is to enact

03:27a universal law

03:29that would remove

03:30all sex abusers

03:32permanently from ministry.

03:34This is a law we see

03:36in a weak form

03:37operating only

03:39in the United States Church.

03:41Those U.S. bishops in 2002

03:44got a waiver from the Vatican

03:46and were allowed to enact

03:48a strict removal policy,

03:51one strike and you're out

03:52for abusers.

03:54The Vatican has not allowed

03:56any other group of bishops

03:59to have this law.

04:01The result is a two-tier system

04:03that discriminates

04:05against children

04:06outside of the United States.

04:07I was abused by my parish priest

04:15who was a good friend

04:16of my grandfather's

04:17from the age of five to 12.

04:20I was the favorite in the class,

04:23so people,

04:25my classmates were jealous

04:27that I was taken out of class

04:28to help at the rectory so often.

04:31My parents were proud of me

04:34for being the favorite,

04:36but I held a terrible secret

04:38and was convinced

04:41that if I told

04:43that I would be the bad person,

04:47that I would be the,

04:48just like other survivors.

04:50Children believe that if they tell,

04:52they will be considered bad,

04:55not the priest,

04:56because priests are good.

04:57But luckily,

05:01I have a very loving family

05:02and that's very supportive.

05:05I've been able to go to therapy

05:07for 20-plus years.

05:09So I feel that I have a better deal

05:12than most survivors

05:14in that I've had opportunities

05:15to heal.

05:17And I've devoted my last 20-something years

05:21to advocating for survivors.

05:23and I've been able to do
