ROME — Members of a Vatican commission for the prevention of sex abuse who met in Rome on Sunday with Boston Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley to express concern over the appointment of a bishop in Chile linked to an abuser priest said they’re satisfied with the result.
“The meeting went well,” Marie Collins, a commission member and the coordinator of the hastily arranged meeting, told Crux. “We’re happy with Cardinal Sean’s response.”
Collins, who was raped by a hospital chaplain in Dublin when she was 13, is one of two survivors of clerical abuse to sit on the panel.
Members said that O’Malley, president of the panel, heard their concerns and vowed to relay them to Pope Francis, who named the bishop in Chile last October.
