“There is forgiveness in the church”: Bishop of Beja wants to forgive priests suspected of sexually abusing minors

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.

“We are all sinners, we are all limited, we all have shortcomings. This approach is not very Catholic. There is forgiveness in the Catholic Church,” he defended. D. João Marcos notes that the approach to these cases “was not very Catholic”.

Incidents of church sexual abuse came to light in February after the Independent Commission released a report that compiled data from the past 72 years. 4815 victims have been identified. Most of the sexual aggressors were priests.

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.
