The spokesman of the association learned with "deception" this Friday the choice of Leo XIV, which takes place in Lourdes on 27 September. However, the sovereign pontiff will grant a hearing to seven victims of sexual violence in the Church.
The principal collective of the victims of Betharram asked for an interview with Pope Leo XIV when he came to Lourdes, about fifteen kilometers from the establishment.

During his visit to Lourdes on 27 September, Pope Leo XIV will receive seven victims of sexual violence. The associations of victims regret these "individual" and "catimini" appointments.
The collective asks to be received for more than a year. "This hand stretched out to the victims has just been refused," he deplores Friday, three weeks from the visit of Pope Leo XIV.
