💨 Abstract

Critics are urging the next pope to prioritize addressing clerical sex abuse, citing the legacies of Pope Francis, Benedict XVI, and John Paul II as insufficient. The Church has faced decades of scandals involving paedophile priests and cover-ups, damaging its reputation and costing hundreds of millions in settlements. The upcoming conclave, where cardinals elect a new pope, begins May 7.
