DR Congo: Victims of alleged paedophile priest still waiting for justice

Although Pope Francis has made the fight against paedophilia in the Catholic Church one of his priorities, this call is not always heard. Our correspondents in DR Congo met several men who claim to have been sexually abused by a Slovenian priest in the 1990s in the village of Mooto. They were all minors at the time. After the alleged abuse came to light, the priest left the country in a hurry. The case was brought to the Vatican, but the Church concluded that the priest was innocent without even interviewing all of the alleged victims.
