The most influential member of a Vatican commission on tackling clerical sex abuse said Wednesday he has quit over 'structural and practical issues' which made it 'impossible' for him to continue.
German Jesuit priest Hans Zollner, member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors and president of the Center for the Protection of Minors, talks to journalists following a press conference held by an independent commission for the study of sexual abuse of children in the Portuguese Catholic Church at Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, on February 13, 2023.
US Cardinal Sean O'Malley, the body's head, said early Wednesday that Zollner had resigned due to a heavy workload. "Furthermore, there should be transparency on how decisions are taken in the commission. Too often, there was insufficient information and vague communication", he said in a statement. Francis has vowed a zero-tolerance stance on abuse and has changed the law so that suspected cases must be reported, but victims' associations say he still has not gone far enough.
