4. SOUNDBITE (English) Cardinal Seán Patrick O'Malley, president of the pontifical commission for the protection of minors:
"To all victims and survivors, I want to assure you that our desire is to do everything possible to continue welcoming you and addressing you in all the unjust suffering that you have endured. We praise your courageous testimony and at the same time, we recognise that you are likely tired of empty words. Your suffering and wounds have opened our eyes to the fact that as a church we have failed to care for victims and that we didn't defend you and that we resisted understanding you when you needed us most. Nothing we do will ever be enough to fully repair what has happened. But we hope that this report and those that will come, compiled with the help of victims and survivors at the centre, will help to ensure the firm commitment that these events never happen again in the church."

6. Press conference
7. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Juan Carlos Cruz, survivor of a Chilean predator priest and member of the team that worker on the report:
“I know that for many perhaps there is zero credibility in what is being done. For others, there is enormous credibility. What I can tell you is that I would not be on this commission, nor would I believe Pope Francis, the Cardinal and everyone who works with me on this commission so much, if we were not really trying to do something restorative for those who have suffered abuse of all kinds of sexual, psychological, spiritual leadership, everything."
8. Speakers at press conference
9. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Monsignor Luis Manuel Alí Herrera, secretary of the pontifical commission for the protection of minors:
“The constant permanent complaint is a lack of communication. A canonical process begins and many of the victims know absolutely nothing about this process.”
10. Close of report
11. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Monsignor Luis Manuel Alí Herrera, secretary of the pontifical commission for the protection of minors:
“That's why we have a proposal that we started working on. Especially with the DDF’s (Dicastery of doctrine and faith) disciplinary section. I call this body a sort of an defence of the people (ombudsman) in my Latin American context, or also a prosecutor for that of the victims. But it's just a proposal. It's at work."
12. Speakers at press conference
13. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Maud de Boer-Buquicchio, law expert member of the team that worked on the report:
"The role of an ombudsman can be extremely helpful in bringing about systemic changes.”
14. Close of report
15. SOUNDBITE (English) Maud de Boer-Buquicchio, law expert member of the team that worked on the report:
“The victims need to know who to turn to. The ombudsman can make sure that these information is related in a friendly way. That its understood who is responsible. Who is doing what.”
