Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley said at a seminar on safeguarding children in Rome that Pope Francis is “thoroughly committed” to protecting minors and others from sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church, according to press reports.

“Let there be no doubt about it: Pope Francis is thoroughly committed to rooting out the scourge of sex abuse in the church,” O’Malley said Thursday, according to a story published on the website of The Pilot, the official newspaper of the Boston archdiocese.

But, he added, “effectively making our church safe for all people demands our collaboration on all levels.”

O’Malley, president of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, delivered the opening prayer and gave an address at the seminar sponsored by the commission at the Pontifical Gregorian University.
