Rome – Speaking at a secular conference on child pornography and online threats to youth on Thursday, a Catholic priest said the fight against child abuse isn’t merely a cause for the Church, but for the entire human family and for civilization itself.
During the Feb. 7 panel titled, “Pornography, Minors and Safety on the Internet,” sponsored by the Italian government, Father Aldo Bonaiuto told attendees that “the human family, if we are really civil, we want to fight.”
“We are here because these people belong to us, we feel that they belong to us, we feel that they are our children,” he said, referring to children and adolescents who experience online abuse or who are exposed to harmful content on digital devices.
