[Google Translation: Juan Carlos Cruz, a whistleblower of sexual abuse inside the Catholic church, spoke with 24 Tarde to give his impressions regarding the decision of the bishops who made their office available to Pope Francis this Friday.

This, after yesterday ended the three days of reflection developed in Rome, where the bishops were invited to reflect and pray for facts denounced by the victims of abuse.

Cruz said he felt emotional and had mixed feelings about what happened, saying that he did have conversations with the Pope "and I knew more or less what he wanted to do, but I have been in contact with him and I have been thanking him because he has done what he has done. fact, this is unprecedented, "he said.

In that sense, he said that the handling of what happened was not a surprise for him, adding that "the bishops are a bunch of corrupt people who hid evidence, who destroyed documents, who committed truly criminal acts." 

Cruz added that with the resolution, and with the fact that it was revealed that documents were destroyed, "one feels vindicated after so many insults and lies, precisely from those who have to help you, who are all this corrupt manga that today they are all renounced. "

He also launched a criticism of the responsibilities that devolve on bishops regarding the way they dealt with cases of abuse, saying that it would have been different if someone had raised their voices.

"If any of the bishops had raised their voices today we would be talking about something else, but none had the courage to speak, if I put them in the same bag, some with more responsibility, others with less, but all stained," he said.
