Pope Leo XIV on June 8, 2026 promises victims of sexual violence by Catholic clergy that the Church will make 'additional efforts' to change during a meeting in Madrid. The leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics spent an hour with six victims of sexual violence by the clergy on day three of a state visit to Spain where the issue has come up regularly. Leo assured them of his 'commitment to ensure' that their proposals 'become a foundation for additional efforts, so that the Church may truly be a safe and spiritually healthy place.'
