The Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors metsurvivors of clerical sexual abuse last week. The commission said on April 22 that they had heard testimonies from survivors of abuse, some of whom were members of the Survivor Advisory Panel (SAP) of the National Catholic Safeguarding Commission of England and Wales.
The pontifical commission thanked the SAP group for offering their "expertise and experiences" and assured them that their voices would help the commission "to develop effective ways to integrate the voice of survivors into the life and ministry of the Church."
