"In our ecclesial ministry of protection, closeness to victims of abuse is not an abstract concept: it is a very concrete reality, made up of listening, interventions, prevention, help", "it must not happen that these brothers and sisters are not welcomed and listened to, because this can greatly aggravate their suffering. There is a need to take care of them with personal commitment, just as it is necessary for this to be carried out with the help of competent collaborators".
This is what Pope Francis recommends to the members of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, received in audience.
