(ANSA) - Rome, August 21 - The Catholic Church in Italy is
not yet in "moment of truth" on clerical sex abuse, German
Jesuit Father Hans Zollner, a member of the Vatican anti-abuse
committee, said Tuesday.
"I'm eager to say that Italy has not yet lived such a moment
of truth regarding sex abuse and the exploitation of power
regarding the past," he said.
"I hope that these last few weeks, with so much shocking
news, have opened the eyes and hearts of the Italian Church too,
and its leaders, to work without hesitation and in a substantive
way in what is an urgent call by the Lord to all the People of
God," Zollner told the SIR news agency.
