dc.description.abstract | This paper considers the ways in which the Church has responded to the clergy sexual abuse crisis in light of Pope Francis’ reflections in Fratelli tutti’s on the parable of the Good Samaritan. It draws on his critique of clericalism and the analysis of the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Sexual Abuse to argue that it is secular authorities that have taken the message of the parable more to heart than the Church itself. By its own standards, the Church has failed in its pastoral response to clergy abuse victims because the perpetrator is one of their own, sharing with them the same clerical identity. | |
dc.description.abstract | En este artículo abordamos el modo en que la Iglesia ha dado respuesta a la crisis de los abusos sexuales perpetrados por sacerdotes, y lo hacemos a la luz de las reflexiones del papa Francisco acerca de la parábola del Buen Samaritano en su encíclica Fratelli tutti. El estudio que presentamos se basa en una crítica al clericalismo y en el análisis de la Comisión Real Australiana sobre Abuso Sexual en las instituciones, a fin de demostrar que las autoridades civiles se han tomado más en serio el mensaje de la parábola que la propia Iglesia. Esta ha fallado en su respuesta pastoral a las víctimas de abuso por parte del clero porque el victimario es uno de los suyos, con lo que la Iglesia y el abusador comparten la misma identidad clerical. | |
