"Madam President, my group understands all too well that this subject is of an extremely sensitive nature. The present resolution has indeed turned out to be rather elaborate and should focus on the rape of the women. I am very much of the opinion that this subject should be dealt with in the topical debate, for it was revealed only recently, last week, in fact, that women’s rights have been violated not only in Africa, but in 23 countries across the world. In this light, we cannot just dismiss this subject as marginal. What we as Parliament should say about this is not so much that it has happened – indeed, it happens in every society, irrespective of religion, both in the West and elsewhere – but that it is being concealed under the cloak of charity. For years, the existence of a problem was simply denied. I believe Parliament should make a statement on this.
I repeat, once again, that the text which is before us contains elements which do not belong in this resolution; we will therefore remove them so that it becomes an accurate resolution which deals with the problem of the violation of women’s rights across the world by Catholic priests. I hope that I will be able to count on your support."@en1
