The more the church looks into the cases of abuse, the more it will find, but that's precisely our job

If the Church gets involved, and begins to investigate and communicate about the cases of abuse, it will typically find more cases: but this should not be a deterrent, because this is the way the Church should go, according to German theologian and priest Hans Zollner, who is one of the most influential figures in the world on how the Catholic Church deals with child abuse. Zollner was one of the founders of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, and was an adviser to Pope Francis, but left the post in 2023. Since then he has been a leading expert at the institute for abuse and victim protection, IACD. Previously, the German Jesuit priest visited Hungary in 2019. He says that although it is happening slowly, he does see a change in the church in Hungary since his last visit.
