Kim Daniels:
You know, of course, the first thing we have to say whenever we talk about this issue is that the priority is to listen to victim survivors and to make sure that we put accountability and transparency front and center.
And so, of course, that’s our responsibility here. I will say that there are many publications that have looked into this and have talked about Pope Leo responding in the way that was the standard at the time.
And I just saw yesterday, I believe it was yesterday, another group out here, Bishop Accountability, talked about the fact that an American coming into this position brings the kind of sensibility around this issue, meaning zero tolerance, meaning an idea that we really need to have accountability, in a way that many others might not because we have really focused on this issue very much so in the United States.
Again, not resolved it, much more to be done, but my understanding is that Pope Leo has really — took the steps that he could at the time and, again, brings that sensibility of accountability and transparency to the conversation.
