The proposal: "Insert the sin of pedophilia into the Catechism"

A petition addressed to the Pope to insert the sin of pedophilia in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This is the very strong and decisive initiative of Don Mauro Leonardi, a priest of Opus Dei. The petition is also visible on Don Mauro's website and in a few days it met with great success. Here is what Don Mauro says “For a fairly simple reason. In the meantime, I don't know what instrument the Pope will want to adopt and if he will keep my petition in mind, I hope so. Pedophilia was taken head on with energy in the Church by Benedict XVI. I think of his clear actions with some Legionaries of Christ. Subsequently Pope Francis followed, with the same energy and rigor, the same line of Pope Ratzinger. I turned to the Holy Father, therefore, because I know with what attention, what care, what self-denial follows and pursues the problem of pedophilia, which is very serious ”.
