CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV met privately for over an hour with six abuse survivors at the apostolic nunciature in Lima, Peru, on November 12.
The Pope “met with each of them individually, listening to their stories of suffering and pain,” Vatican News reported. “He also reflected with them on how to foster a change in mindset through listening to victims, seeking the truth, supporting healing processes, and committing to the creation of safe environments.”
The report noted that some of the victims “had previously belonged to groups linked to the Sodalitium of Christian Life,” an institute founded in Peru in 1971, and suppressed by Pope Francis in 2025.
