VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis gave a new mandate to his sex abuse advisory commission Friday, telling its members to work with bishops around the world to establish special welcome centers for victims and to audit the church’s progress on fighting abuse from its new perch within the Vatican.

Editor's note: SCSA recommends that victims and survivors do not g to the church - they are not capable of acting in your best interest and are the ones who ruined your life in the first place. Please always get an attorney and follow their advice.
