It would have been a positive opportunity if some of the men that suffered sexual abuse at Mirfield had been invited to talk and discuss their feelings, and the feelings of others, at the Comboni Missionaries Chapter taking place now in Rome.
That is what Pope Francis would have wanted, and that is what many priests and brothers of the Comboni Order want. It is what many of the abused want.

In accordance with n. 147 of the Rule of Life, with joy and trust in God we officially convoke the XVIII General Chapter of the Institute.

Time for discernment in the XVIII General Chapter in Rome. After the first phase dedicated to listening to what is happening on the ground in our institute, the Chapter begins the time of discernment in order to identify the priorities of our mission as combonis. Yesterday the “phase of seeing” has come to an end after listening to the reports which started on Thursday 10 September. The first report was that of the General council read by our superior general Father Enrique Sanchez, followed by the reports of the general secretariats and the Comboni Curia offices, and by those coming from the continents: Francophone Africa, America and Asia, Anglophone Africa and lastly Europe.
