Independent report on clerical abuse leads to 4 new convictions in Portugal
A total of 114 alleged abusers were named by the Independent Commission’s report.
The Archdiocese of Braga announced last week that a canonical process involving Father Albino Meireles, accused of child abuse, had concluded with his dismissal from the clerical state.
The announcement is the latest development in a process that has divided observers over whether the Church has done enough to respond to abuse allegations in the country.
