Safeguarding
Pope Francis has made it clear he expects the Church, on every level, to implement whatever steps are necessary to ensure the protection of minors and vulnerable adults and to respond to their needs with fairness and mercy.
Both individually and collectively. We have a responsibility to ensure.
That every person has a value and dignity from his/her creation in the image and likeness of God
