The Spanish Conference of Religious (Confer) distances itself from the management of abuses led until now by the other most visible part of the Church. “We congregations are tired of how bishops make decisions on this issue unilaterally.

We would like to participate as equals in the initiatives and row together so that the truth comes to light,” says a source from a great Spanish order. Several bishoprics have also joined the discontent, claiming that the creation of this report was a “manipulation” to overshadow the Cremades audit.
