DR Congo: Victims of alleged paedophile priest still waiting for justice

Although Pope Francis has made the fight against paedophilia in the Catholic Church one of his priorities, this call is not always heard.

After the alleged abuse came to light, the priest left the country in a hurry. The case was brought to the Vatican, but the Church concluded that the priest was innocent without even interviewing all of the alleged victims.
