Survivors of clergy molestation voice their frustration over the election of Pope Leo XIV, who previously faced scrutiny for his management of sexual abuse cases within the church. Robert Prevost, the new Pope, has a past where he allegedly allowed a priest accused of molestation to remain in his role. Furthermore, as bishop in Peru, he was reported to have inadequately dealt with abuse allegations. Advocacy group Snap formally complained against him, and they expressed serious concerns about his election following the conclave at the Vatican, emphasizing the urgency for reform in the church.
Survivors groups are dismayed by the election of Pope Leo XIV, citing serious concerns over his past handling of clerical sexual abuse cases, which they find insulting.
Prevost's history of allowing accused clerics to continue in ministry roles, along with allegations of inadequate investigations, has drawn sharp criticism from victims' advocacy groups.
