Statement of the President of the Polish Bishops’ Conference after having watched Tomasz Sekielski’s film
Today I was deeply moved and saddened when watching Mr. Sekielski's film, and I would like to thank him for this film.

I am convinced that this film, too, will result in an even more stringent compliance with the guidelines for the protection of children and young people in the Church, in the implementation by all bishops of prevention principles in each diocese, and in the compliance with the Motu proprio that Pope Francis promulgated the day before yesterday.
