Vatican City (Vatican), 16 April. (LaPresse) – "Sincere closeness, humble listening, perseverance in seeking what is right and possible to repair" for "people who have suffered abuse". This is the recommendation of Pope Leo In the text the Pope underlines that "a Christian community experiences evangelical conversion when it does not defend itself from the pain of those who have suffered, but allows itself to be questioned by it; when it does not minimize evil, but recognizes it; when it does not close itself in fear of scandal, but accepts to follow demanding paths of truth, justice and healing". The Pope then recommends that "a culture of prevention which is, even before that, a culture of evangelical guardianship" grows in the Church.
