Hans Zollner’s departure represents a sharp blow to the Vatican committee’s image and comes after several members resigned early on
Father Hans Zollner, one of the leading members of the Vatican committee against child sexual abuse, said on Wednesday he had resigned from the group, citing concerns over the way it was operating.
His abrupt departure represents a sharp blow to its image and comes after several members resigned early on, complaining the commission had no real power and met with internal resistance. Zollner said his resignation was effective March 14. He added that he could not live with problems “particularly in the areas of responsibility, compliance, accountability and transparency”.
Last year, the pope gave the commission greater clout when a new Holy See constitution placed it inside the Vatican’s doctrinal department, which rules on abuse cases, and mandated it to produce an annual report on clerical sex abuse.
