of the standings at least for the moment. i'm irish waiter thanks for joining us. pope francis has vowed the catholic church will spare no effort to bring child abusers in the clergy to justice the pontiff was speaking at the end of a four day vatican summit to address head ophelia and the church amid an avalanche of allegations against catholic priests and evidence their superiors concealed their crimes francis promised the church would end its culture of silence and decisively confront perpetrator. evil is within the catholic church according to pope francis and the time for apologies is over.
5:02 pm
no explanation suffice for these abuses involving two men. in front of an audience of international bishops francis spoke not just of human sin but of intentional crimes and the need for justice. and i would like to reaffirm that the church will spend no effort to do all that is necessary to bring to justice whosoever has committed such crimes as. the church will never seek to hush up or not take seriously any case but. pope francis says an all out battle is necessary to rid the church of a culture of sexual abuse and cover ups but survivors criticized how much time the pope spent pointing out that child sex abuse wasn't limited to the catholic church . one said his speech was too light on any concrete reforms.
5:03 pm
it was very disappointing no our train was straight and. we feel that are secure for important. hopefully to remove some of those bishops and. cover up sexual abuse or sexual abuse themselves or the church is is wholly incapable of policing itself and its its statutory practice is really have allowed this to continue and they have not to this point changed aside from anything he may have said positively. but some are optimistic that a first step towards real change in the catholic church has arrived because its leaders have finally admitted the enemy is within. and we're joined now by father max cuppa bianca the catholic chaplain for students across the universities in berlin also worked at the vatican for ten years before that you're
5:04 pm
someone who as we said you spent a lot of time in the vatican. why do you think it took so long for the church to face up to what happened is these were crimes that were committed not just sins i mean child abuse sexual abuse is a crime no matter who commits it of course you know i saw the speech today live on the internet and when i saw all these bishops who are really the leaders of the church i realize also thinking of my time in in the vatican how slow this big institution is about to change and it's like an elephant you know who has to dance now and and what's what i felt today is that the pope really now is shaking the people and and pointing out that in the midst of everything has have to be the victims and and they came from all over the world and the situation is very different in different parts of the world and he stressed and the begin of his speech and for me it was really impressive to see how serious he spoke so do you
5:05 pm
think it was a good thing that the pope said what he said about bringing people to justice. yes you know i mean if you checked also the reactions and internet afterwards and i've seen many criticisms against him his and oh he's not getting concrete he's not taking measures you know but then i found that was really specially from organizations for victims was that that's really a bad speech but then i was thinking of a right i think from that point a few yes because in fact he didn't say anything of concrete but what he did is really. pointing out the principles that no longer silence no longer covering no longer double life no longer of these things and that's something why i would say yes of what it was good that he did it in this way
5:06 pm
and briefly if you can we have heard some horror stories from victims in the past few days you are a catholic priest how does it feel now to be associated with an institution that has caused a lot of pain to a lot of these people. you know it's really hard because you know first of all i'm a priest and i want to be. i want to feel the the pain of victims that's my first thing but we also we have pain and the pope also said that he that so many priests were doing a good work are really standing last or that i'm t. and he acknowledged it and thanked the people the normal people who know they could have been sent it was also good for us to be a little bit yeah consoled because you know everybody industry trend you are going like this and that people say oh a pedophile and that's really hot and doesn't if you know i think i know what why

5:10 pm
really pressing issues also in terms of migration which is also a key issue here at the summit is really addressing the as the civil wars that are taking place within that union of arab states and most of all you have a syria a war that apparently is partly won now by bashar al assad and the leaders here of the e.u. but also arab leaders will have to think about how they deal with this and then you have conflicts a civil wars in yemen but also unstable very unstable situation in libya also a big issues here and the question of course for european leaders is how do they deal with these issues and how do they deal with the liberal and non democratic elected counterparts here that it was a question put to jump at the head of the european commission and he said he has a headache talking to these people but he said if that be the criteria his week would end on tuesday so he said we really have to talk and this is the place to do it. not as in china shake egypt where the arab league and the e.u. are meeting for the first time thank you so much.
