Portugal rocked by massive church abuse scandal; Is Vatican listening? | Explainer | Oneindia News
A new inquiry report published in Portugal has disclosed very disturbing assessments when it comes to cases of child sexual abuse by the members of Church.
The number of victims..if taken as a stand-alone figure..is staggering.
And this is not a new thingā¦or something that has been not known to the general public worldwide.
Since a few decades, the Vatican has been consistently rocked by numerous scandals involving children and priests.
It has not happened just in one or two nationsā¦It has been reported in several countries.
And very often, the Vatican has been accused of shielding such priests..rather than punishing them.
In this video, we take a look at this new report and bring to you some of the most damaging cases that the highest authorities in various churches across the world have either been accused of hiding..or of being actively complicit.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a rare and āconstructiveā phone call with Pope Leo XIV, accusing Ukraine of deliberately escalating the conflict by sabotaging civilian infrastructure inside Russia. Putin referenced recent train bombings in Bryansk and Kursk as acts of terrorism. He also updated the Pontiff on resumed peace talks with Kiev, the exchange of prisoners, and efforts to reunite displaced children. Putin urged the Pope to support religious freedom in Ukraine and thanked the Holy See for its role in mediating humanitarian issues.

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has become the first U.S.-born pontiff and now leads both the Holy See and Vatican City. His dual role as an American citizen and a foreign head of state raises legal and constitutional questions. While U.S. law allows for āactive reviewā of such cases, experts say Leoās citizenship is unlikely to be revoked unless he explicitly renounces it. The Vatican is a sovereign nation, and Leo holds dual citizenship with Peru as well. The U.S. State Department declined comment on his status.

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the RussiaāUkraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Popeās willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraineās persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscowās draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur.
