Pope Leo XIV has said there should be no tolerance in the Catholic Church for any type of abuse - sexual, spiritual or misuse of authority - and called for "transparent processes" to create a culture of prevention.

Culture of abuse prevention needed urgently, says Pope

Leo made his first public comments about a clergy sex abuse scandal in a written message to a Peruvian journalist who documented a particularly egregious case of abuse and financial corruption in a Peruvian-based Catholic movement, the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae.

The message was read out loud on Friday night in Lima during a performance of a play based on the Sodalitium scandal and the work of the journalist, Paola Ugaz.
