“There is forgiveness in the Church: the bishop wants to forgive priests suspected of sexual harassment to minors

The bishop of the run of D. Zhuan Marcos proposed to pardon priests suspected of sexual violence against minors. In an interview with SIC, the monk emphasized the importance of forgiveness in the Catholic Church for those who show repentance and/or tries to change their behavior.

Only nine situations have been revealed in the Bezhsky diocese, but the bishop says that he is still unknown to the names of suspicious parish priests. D. Joao Marcos was one of those who did not respond to the request for contact from the independent commission for the study of sexual violence in the church.
