Vos Estis Lux Mundi

In May 2019 Pope Francis issued the apostolic letter motu proprio Vos Estis Lux Mundi.

Vos Estis Lux Mundi sets out complaint and investigation procedures regarding crimes of sexual abuse committed by clerics and members of Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life and concealing crimes of sexual abuse by Bishops and their equivalents.

ACSL can assist in the implementation of Vos Estis Lux Mundi if requested to do so. Find out more here.

Registered Charity

Australian Catholic Safeguarding Ltd respectfully acknowledges all Traditional Custodians of the land and waters of Australia. We pay respect to their Elders, past and present, and young leaders of today and the future. ACSL commits itself to the ongoing work of reconciliation with our Aboriginal families and communities.

ACSL acknowledges the lifelong trauma of abuse victims and survivors and their families; the failure of the Catholic Church to protect, believe and respond justly to children and adults at risk; and the consequent breaches of community trust.
