Meeting privately with his brother Jesuits in Peru in January 2018, Pope Francis defined the scandal of sexual abuse as "the greatest desolation the Church is undergoing".

"The abuse" - he continued - "is always the result of a mentality linked to power, which must be healed in its malign roots".

As we now know pedophilia is a small but very dramatic part of the much wider problem of clerical sexual abuse.

La Civiltà Cattolica has published this volume on Safeguarding the young and vulnerable.

The book comprises ten articles that examines different aspects of the problem from different viewpoints.

Awareness has grown with time.

Much has been done to confront the problem during the last two pontificates, with the renewal of canonical norms, the formulation of guidelines by episcopal conferences, the development of formation projects and other initiatives, and also some significant recent letters by Pope Francis. Now preparations are underway for a meeting of presidents of episcopal conferences on the subject of safeguarding children February 21-24, 2019.

Safeguarding begins with an editorial The Problem of Pedophilia, that appeared in 2002, it describes the nature of pedophilia and the people who carry out these acts. It speaks of the motivations behind the wall of silence that is created around pedophile acts, and how to overcome the silence, discusses sex tourism, the spread of material on the internet and discusses cases involving priests and religious. These matters are equally relevant today.

Two articles authored by Hans Zollner, SJ from the Gregorian University’s Center for Child Protection, the Church’s leading specialist on protection and managing offenders and Fr Giovanni Cucci, SJ reference person for the Euro-Mediterranean Province of the Jesuits for cases of abuse, look closely at psychological aspects of the problem and how to combat the culture of pedophilia.

Two more articles by Fr Zollner focus on children: protecting them and the spiritual wounds they and all abuse victims suffer.

An article from one of La Civiltà Cattolica’s finest writers, Fr Diego Fares, SJ outlines the scandal in Chile. With the process of healing ongoing the article presents the scandal in a chronological order and steps taken to rid the Chilean Church of this scourge and most importantly to support and heal the abused.

Two articles by Fr Federico Lomardi, SJ who will mediate the plenary sessions of the meeting of presidents of conferences in Rome next month discuss preparations for the meeting and also more recent, practical developments in child protection and education and formation of religious working to stop abuse.

The final articles are from the Gregorian University’s Center for Child Protection Towards Healing and Renewal: the proceedings of a symposium on child sexual abuse, and The Dignity of Minors in the Digital World: An International Congress.
