**Interview with Liliana Rodriguez,⁤ Psychologist and Advocate‍ for Survivors of Church Abuse‌ in Argentina**

**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, Liliana. In light⁢ of the recent revelations about Father Franco Alberto Lutens and the three sexual abuse complaints against him, can you share your thoughts on the ⁢situation?

**Liliana Rodriguez:** Thank⁤ you​ for having me. This is a significant and troubling development in our ongoing struggle against abuse⁢ within the church. The allegations against Lutens, who was in a position of trust, deeply ​concern me ‍and ​my colleagues. Our main focus is ‌on supporting the victims and ensuring their voices are heard.

**Interviewer:** ⁤The victims in this case are reported to have been​ catechists. How are they coping with the aftermath of their experiences?

**Liliana Rodriguez:** They are understandably feeling a ⁢mix of relief ⁢and anxiety. It’s a long and painful journey for them. Many of the individuals I work with have endured trauma, and they often express that their motivation for reporting is to prevent such ​abuse from happening to anyone else. They want justice, not just for themselves, but for all potential victims.

**Interviewer:** The Bishop of ⁢Quilmes,⁤ Carlos José ⁣Tisera, has stated that Lutens has been removed from his ⁢pastoral activities. Do you believe this action is sufficient given the gravity of the allegations?

**Liliana Rodriguez:** While it is a step ⁢in the right direction, ⁤it‍ must be accompanied ​by robust accountability measures. The church must ensure that such allegations are ‌taken seriously and that investigations are⁣ conducted ⁣thoroughly. Any form of protection for abusers, ‌whether from ecclesiastical ⁢or secular authorities, must be eliminated.

**Interviewer:** You mentioned the necessity for victims to report to⁢ criminal justice authorities. Why is it so ⁢crucial for them to do this?

**Liliana Rodriguez:** Many survivors fear​ retribution or feel that reporting to the church may ‍lead ⁣to re-victimization. By going to criminal justice authorities, ‍they can seek justice in a way that ​doesn’t subject them to further trauma within the very ⁤institution they once trusted. It’s important for ‍our⁣ society to understand that survivors have ‌the courage to come forward, and ​they deserve support and protection.

**Interviewer:** What do you think ​needs to​ change within the church to prevent future abuses?

**Liliana Rodriguez:** There‍ needs to be a culture of transparency and accountability. The church must prioritize the safety of vulnerable‌ individuals over the protection of its own reputation. This ⁣includes adhering to the recommendations from Pope⁢ Francis‌ about investigating⁤ abuses seriously.⁢ We need to create safe ⁢spaces‍ where individuals can report without fear and be⁤ assured that their allegations will be taken seriously.

**Interviewer:** what do you want the‍ public⁤ to take away from this situation?

**Liliana Rodriguez:** I want people to understand that abuse can ‍happen anywhere, especially in institutions that hold power over vulnerable individuals.⁣ It ‌is vital for communities to support survivors and advocate for reforms that protect everyone from predatory behavior. ‌We need unity and a commitment‌ to change ⁤to ensure that no one has to endure what​ these victims have⁣ faced.

**Interviewer:** Thank you,‍ Liliana, for your insights and work in advocating for survivors of ‌abuse. Your voice is⁤ crucial in this ongoing⁣ fight for justice.

**Liliana Rodriguez:** Thank you for highlighting this important issue.⁤ Together, we can strive for a safer future for everyone.
