Pope Francis emphatically repeated the Church’s commitment to “zero tolerance” when it comes to priests who abuse others, in an interview with CNN Portugal broadcast on Monday evening.

In response to abuse, the Pope said it is necessary to recognize the reality of abuse in modern society; to ensure that abuse is other sectors, such as the family is not covered up; and for the Church to address abuse in the areas it is responsible. The Holy Father reiterated the Church’s commitment to zero tolerance of abuse, saying “a priest cannot continue to be a priest if he is an abuser. He can’t.

Pope Francis spoke, too, about the need to speak to young people in their own language, which comes from their own youth culture. “So you have to listen to them in their way of interpreting things and respond to them in a way that they can understand… and according to the experiences they are living today.”Asked about his prayer life, Pope Francis said he prays the Liturgy of the Hours every day, and also prays the Rosary and meditates on the Bible.
