In Situ – ‘in its original place or position’ in good Latin.
Catholic church still failing to deal with sexual abuse cases, says Vatican report.
In its first report on a scandal that has embroiled the Catholic church for decades,
the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors said the church was still
failing to ensure that clerical sexual abuse cases were dealt with adequately.
It also criticised the Vatican office charged with processing complaints of being
slow and secretive. The commission was set up by Pope Francis in 2014 and its
first report, published October 2024, focused on church protocol in 17 countries.
