**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.
