| Summary: | The Church recognizes and identifies the rights of victims/survivors of sexual abuse. It also recognizes the rights of those who are accused of committing these wrongful acts. The rights of victims/survivors and the rights of offenders are not mutually exclusive: on the contrary, these rights coexist simultaneously. This study focuses on the identification in the Catholic Church of rights belonging to a person accused of sexual abuse of minors and vulnerable persons. When these rights are respected, protected, and exercised, it is expected that the truth of this allegation will be revealed. L’Église reconnaît et identifie les droits des victimes/survivant(e)s d’abus sexuel. Il reconnaît également les droits de ceux qui sont accusés d’avoir commis ces actes fautifs. Les droits des victimes/survivant(e)s et les droits des délinquants ne s’excluent pas mutuellement: au contraire, ces droits coexistent simultanément. Cette étude se concentre sur l’identification dans l’Église catholique des droits fondamentaux appartenant à une personne accusée d’abus sexuel sur des mineurs et des personnes vulnérables. Lorsque ces droits sont respectés, protégés et exercés, il est prévu que la vérité de cette allégation sera révélée. |
