Vatican Criminalizes Sex Abuse of Adults By Priests

The video discusses the Catholic Church's response to decades of sexual abuse and financial scandals. Pope Francis has mandated new laws that explicitly criminalize the sexual abuse of adults by priests, expanding previous laws that focused on minors. The new laws also hold laypeople and bishops accountable for failing to report abuse. Grooming is now criminalized, and survivor stories highlight the predatory nature of such acts. These revisions to the Vatican's Code of Canon Law will take effect on December 8th.
