| Summary: | Following the so-called 'Vatican Summit' on 21-24 February 2019, Pope Francis issued his apostolic letter motu proprio Vos estis lux mundi whereby he expanded the offense and the offenders of sexual abuse of minors and vulnerable persons in the Church, identified certain rights of victims/survivors, and provided for a mechanism to investigate bishops and their equivalents who have committed this abuse or who have obstructed its investigation. This study is a commentary on this apostolic letter. À la suite du soi-disant «Sommet du Vatican» des 21 et 24 février 2019, le pape François a publié sa lettre apostolique motu proprio Vos estis lux mundi par laquelle il a étendu l’infraction et les délinquants d’abus sexuel des mineurs et personnes vulnérables dans l’Église, identifié certains droits des victimes/survivants, et prévu un mécanisme pour enquêter sur les évêques et leurs équivalents qui ont commis ces abus ou qui ont entravé son enquête. Cette étude est un commentaire de cette lettre apostolique. |
