Opinion of the French on the Pope' handling of child abuse cases in the Church 2019

Published by Statista Research Department, Jul 4, 2024
In 2019, people in France criticized Pope Francis for not being firm enough about pedocriminal acts committed within the Catholic Church. The source had indeed questioned the French on this subject in the days following his refusal of the resignation of Cardinal Barbarin (condemned in first instance in March 2019 for not having reported to justice the pedocriminal acts of the priest Bernard Preynat): two-thirds of the French felt that the Pope was handling the situation badly.
