During a recent assembly in Lourdes, French bishops reviewed approaches to assist adult victims of sexual violence within the Church, following a 2020 report on abuse. A potential announcement has been postponed to spring 2024 as they explore two options for support and reparations. Monseigneur Éric de Moulins-Beaufort emphasized the need for careful deliberation, expressing concern for victims’ feelings about the delay, and reaffirmed the bishops’ commitment to justice and accountability for perpetrators. An additional focus on restorative justice is also under consideration for unresolvable cases.
