VATICAN ABUSE SUMMIT HAS KEY, REALISTIC GOALS
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- All eyes and ears will be on the Va can during an unprecedented gathering Feb. 21-24 to discuss the
protec on of minors in the Catholic Church. When Pope Francis announced the interna onal mee ng in September, it sparked an
op mis c note that the global problem of abuse finally would be tackled with a concerted, coordinated, global effort.
The breadth of the poten al impact seemed to be reflected in the list of those convoked to the mee ng: the presidents of all the
world's bishops' conferences, the heads of the Eastern Catholic churches, representa ves of the leadership groups of men's and
women's religious orders and the heads of major Va can offices. But the pope tried to dial down what he saw as "inflated
expecta ons" for the mee ng, telling reporters in January that "the problem of abuse will con nue. It's a human problem" that
exists everywhere.
Many survivors and experts, too, have cau oned that it was unrealis c to assume such a brief mee ng could deliver a panacea
for abuse and its cover-up. So, what should people expect from the four-day mee ng? The following five points hit the highlights:
1. It will be first and foremost about raising awareness, including that the scandal of abuse is not a "Western" problem, but
happens in every country.
To make that point clear, the organizing commi ee asked every par cipa ng bishop to sit down with a survivor of abuse before
coming to Rome and hear that "Me, too," from a person of his own country, culture and language.
Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, who is modera ng the mee ng, said there would be between 160 and 180 par cipants. He told
reporters Feb. 12 to expect the presidents of about 115 bishops' conferences, a dozen heads of Eastern churches, prefects of
Va can congrega ons directly involved with Va can norms regarding abuse and negligence, eight delegates from the men's Union
of Superiors General, 10 delegates from the women's Interna onal Union of Superiors General, three members of the pope's
Council of Cardinals who are not presidents of their bishops' conference and four members of the organizing commi ee. Everyone
invited will be expected to learn what his or her responsibili es are as a leader or a bishop and to know the church laws and
procedures that already exist to protect the young.
2. Organizers hope that by listening to vic ms and leaders who have learned things the hard way, par cipants will be inspired to
adopt a culture of accountability and transparency. Hearing what abuse and negligence have done to people has the power to
transform the listener, "to truly open the mind and heart," Jesuit Father Hans Zollner told reporters Feb. 12.
Just to be sure those voices are heard, the mee ng will also feature tes monies from survivors from countries where the reality
of abuse is s ll largely ignored, said the priest, an abuse expert who is part of the mee ng's organizing commi ee. He said the
word "accountability" doesn't even exist in many languages, which o en means that culture might lack a clear or coherent
understanding of this key concept. .
Church leaders must know what the norms are, he said, but the mee ng also will stress that the procedures themselves "will not
magically solve a problem." For example, he said, it was "a source of delusion" for U.S. Catholics when the 2002 Dallas Charter did
not fix everything. In fact, the mee ng will not be about producing any documents, but pushing people to take the needed steps
toward greater transparency and accountability, Father Lombardi said.
Those steps already are spelled out, he said, in Pope Francis' 2016 document, "As a Loving Mother," on the accountability of
bishops and religious superiors. "It must be put into prac ce effec vely.
3. There will be a kind of "parallel assembly" as large numbers of survivors and advocacy groups converge on Rome to call for
greater accountability, ac on and reform. A variety of events are planned, including an evening "Vigil for Jus ce" near the Va can
and a "March for Zero Tolerance" to St. Peter's Square, but a major focus will be media outreach and ge ng the voice and
recommenda ons of laypeople and vic ms -- many who had gone unheard for years -- listened to.
4. Pope Francis will be present throughout the mee ng, which will include plenary sessions, working groups, prayer, a peniten al
liturgy and a closing Mass.
In le ers to the bishops of Chile and the United States, Pope Francis has made clear what he thinks the church needs to do to
respond to the abuse crisis. Administra ve solu ons involving new policies and norms are not enough, he has said. He told Chile's
bishops that abuse and its cover-up "are indicators that something is bad in the church body." Therefore, they must not only
"address the concrete cases," but also "discover the dynamics that made it possible for such a tudes and evils to occur." Those
a tudes are driven by the tempta on "to save ourselves, to save our reputa on," he told the Chilean bishops.
5. Expect the mee ng to be one cri cal step along a very long journey that began decades ago and must con nue. Further
measures will be taken a er the mee ng, Father Zollner has said .The idea is that the a tude and spirit needed to protect the
most vulnerable of the church's members are the same that will protect and promote respect for the integrity and dignity of
everyone. In fact, Father Lombardi said, "I see this as a test of the profundity of the reform" of the church called for by Pope
Francis.
In other words, the pope wants people "to examine how we live out our mission, with what coherence and how we can convert
our a tudes, both in regard to our a en on and compassion for those who suffer, as well as our consistent witness to the dignity
of children, of women, and so on."

Page Ten Seventh Ordinary Sunday February 24, 2019 DZIEŃ SKUPIENIA DLA KANDYDATÓW DO BIERZMOWANIA W dniach od 8 do 9 lutego 2019 r w Szkole Sw. Ferdynanda odbyły się rekolekcje dla uczniów klas ósmych przygotowujących się do Sakramentu Bierzmowania. W rekolekcjach, które poprowadzili ksiądz Paweł Zazuniak i pani Beata Bosak, uczestniczyło 45 kandydatów oraz pięciu opiekunów. Był to dla nich niezwykły czas zatrzymania się i chwilowego odłożenia swoich szkolnych obowiązków, aby bardziej zaangażować się w pogłębienie swojej relacji z Panem Bogiem i dobrze przygotować się do przyjęcia tego ważnego Sakramentu. Pierwszego dnia wszyscy uczniowie mogli poznać się lepiej poprzez różne zabawy integracyjne. Drugą częścią pierwszego dnia było oglądanie filmu "GOD'S NOT DEAD", wspólna dyskusja na jego temat i pizza. Sobotni program rozpoczęliśmy wspólną modlitwą i śniadaniem. Częścią programu drugiego dnia były cztery konferencje, których przewodnim tematem był Duch Sw. oraz jego Dary i Owoce; praca młodzieży w małych grupach, gdzie młodzież mogła dyskutować na tematy poruszane podczas konferencji, oraz różne zabawy integracyjne. W sobotę gośćmi Dnia Skupienia było dwoje starszych uczniów naszej szkoły, członków Grupy Młodzieżowej Sw. Ferdynanda - Patrick Świerczek i Dominika Panek, którzy podzielili się z kandydatami do bierzmowania świadectwem swojego życia. Dzięki ich świadectwu młodzież mogła dostrzec to, że Bóg jest z nami i pomaga nam nawet w najprostszych, codziennych czynnościach, i że przez nas pragnie pomagać innym. Ten pełen wrażeń dzień zakończył się podsumowaniem przeżyć bierzmowanych i wspólną Mszą Sw. na którą dołączyli rodzice. Każdy uczestnik wyjechał zadowolony, a co najważniejsze - bardziej zbliżony do Boga, z lekkim niedosytem, co może potwierdzić ich prośba powtórzenia tych rekolekcji. Beata Bosak A 2 0 1 9
