Pope Francis announced changes to the way the Roman Catholic church deals with cases of sexual abuse of children, abolishing the rule of pontifical secrecy that was covered previously. The lifting of pontifical secrecy in sexual abuse investigations was a key demand by church leaders at a summit on sexual abuse that was held at the Vatican in February. The new provisions open ways to communicate with the victims.
