La replica di don Danilo Corradi, superiore generale dell'istituto Provolo. Vuole che sia fatta chiarezza, ma non giudica necessaria un'indagine, perche molti dei sacerdoti accusati sono gia morti. Ammette pero che

[translation]

''Things must be made clear”

The answer is by the Rev. Danilo Corradi, Superior General of the Provolo Institution. He wants things to be clarified , but he doesn’t deem an investigation is necessary, for many priests have already passed away. He admits however that in the ‘70s there happened a case of pedophilia in his Institution.

Here is the transcript of the video conversation:

The Rev. Danilo Corradi: “I would like to say with great force and clearness that above all it’s the interest of our Institution that the truth could come out in its entirety, avoiding suspicions and also generalizations and that never in the past I was never warned about real and concrete facts happened in the past in order to be put in the condition to make an investigation about these facts of pedophilia."

Reporter: "But even rumors, like … they say that?……."

The Rev. Danilo Corradi : "I have been here since 1949 and I can say only one case was reported : it concerned a young man who was sent back to his family immediately. He was a student who was about to follow the religious and consecrated path and we sent him away at once for we can’t tolerate these cases in our Institution. When such things happen….."

Reporter: " Do you think an investigation is needed?"

The Reverend Danilo Corradi : " I think so, I don’t know. I don’t think it would be necessary to investigate about these cases…for the Fathers have passed away. They can’t answer, the can’t speak anymore."
