Bishop D. Juan Marcos of Beja has offered to pardon priests suspected of sexually abusing minors. In an interview with SIC, the monk emphasized the importance of forgiveness in the Catholic Church for those who show remorse and/or try to change their behavior.
Nine situations have been identified in the Bezh diocese alone, but the bishop says he does not yet know the names of suspicious parish priests. D. Joao Marcos was one of those who did not respond to a request for contact from the Independent Commission for the Study of Sexual Violence in the Church.
