Vatican prosecutor in global call for child protection

Holy See’s prosecutor Mgr. Charles Scicluna has called on global institutions not to shy away from the guiding principle of guaranteeing respect and protection towards the innocence of the child.

Addressing an international forum against child abuse in Rome, Mgr Scicluna said that “every global or local institution must give priority to safeguarding children under any circumstance, and avoid any form of exploitation or abuse.”
