What kind of safeguarding culture are you growing in your part of the church?
LOUDfence - it takes the whole church to heal the whole of the church
The hallmark of true commitment to safeguarding is the ability to listen objectively to a disclosure about someone you like or are reputationally connected to and not seek to silence the person who is reporting the allegation. This is the price of a safer church.
Listening is the gift which helps others rediscover their voice. Really listening to someone and accompanying them is an act of restorative justice.
Never underestimate how far your message of compassion can travel.
LOUDfence Westminster - make your voice and your compassion visible.

"You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them.
This is how prayer works."
—Pope Francis
The way to honor Pope Francis is to continue his fight for social justice — and to make sure that the values he instilled in us are reflected in our politics and the leaders we choose to represent us.
Pope Francis requested his final resting place be in front of this icon in the Church of St Maria Maggiore. He asked to be laid under the gaze of the church's senior safeguarding officer. He let us know what is really important - to be with the person in the church who makes you feel truly safe.
Sr Samuelle, who was subjected to abuse by Marko Rupnik is being supported by the Jesuits to launch a new art project entitled "Renaissance". Sr Samuelle asked me to let you all know about this important project which is designed to give visibility to survivors.

For the humble, vulnerable and pastoral priest I met in Rome, Pope Francis. I'm sorry I will not see you again in this life, but with god's mercy I will meet you again in the next. Until then, be at peace. You are not gone, you are just not here now.
“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help.
If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."
-Pope Francis
