MANILA, Philippines – As we approach the conclave to elect a new pope, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) is defending the record of Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, former archbishop of Manila, in fighting sexual abuse by clergymen in this Southeast Asian country.
The CBCP, in a statement on Saturday, said Tagle has pushed for a Church that listens and “acts decisively” to help sex abuse victims.
