Sauvé Report: "We must finally do justice to the victims, to the shattered lives"

LE FIGARO.- The bishops of France meet in Lourdes, in particular on the follow-up to be given to the Sauvé report on sexual abuse in the Church.

Hear the people of God, our communities, in their anger, their expectations, their questions.
