Theologian Anne Soupa criticized the French bishops’ failure to address the ongoing sexual abuse crisis within the Church, following their recent postponement of announcements to support adult victims. Soupa, who previously co-signed a call for the bishops’ resignation, lamented the lack of engagement with laypeople in the reform process and the stagnation of group efforts initiated after the Sauvé report. She highlighted that the Church’s archives only extend to the 1970s, inhibiting transparency. Soupa warns that the Church’s current image and declining attendance signal a critical need for reform and accountability.
