“É um problema muito grave. Um sacerdote que efectua um abuso, trai o corpo do Senhor. O padre deve levar as crianças (menino ou menina) à santidade. E este deposita confiança nele. Ao invés de levá-lo à santidade, ele o abusa. É gravíssimo. É como fazer uma missa negra! Ao invés de levá-lo à santidade leva-o a um problema que o marcará durante toda a vida”. Papa Francesco
