Sexually abusing children is "not
only a crime but also, as Pope Francis has said, a sacrilege,
that is a profanation of what is sacred, God's presence in all
human beings", Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro
Parolin told the international convention "Child Dignity in the
Digital World" at the Vatican's Gregorian University Tuesday.
Parolin also said that the Catholic Church was doing "more than
in the past" on clerical child sex abuse, against "phenomena of
an appalling gravity". "We must do more," he said. Parolin said
that in today's digital world there are "age-old risks in new
ways".
