Pope welcomes Child Protection Center

(ANSA) - Vatican City, February 16 - Pope Francis on Monday welcomed the Center for Child Protection launched by the Pontifical Gregorian University.
    After an initial three-year phase, the center will expand its action to prevent sexual abuse against minors on an international scale.
    "I rejoice for all that you are doing and I know that this work will be fruitful", the pontiff wrote in a message to Father Hans Zollner, the Jesuit priest who chairs the center.
    The second part of the program of the Center for child Protection was presented Monday at the university. Along with an e-learning program, the center will offer in 2016 a course dedicated to safeguarding minors against abuse at the Pontifical Gregorian University.
