ALT Living out justice in the Church means purifying ecclesial relationships & structures from distortions that give rise to inequality, lack of transparency & abuse of power. In this regard, listening to the victims of spiritual, economic, institutional, sexual & power-based abuse, as well as abuses of conscience, is an integral part of a journey toward justice, which includes acknowledging the harm done, just reparation & taking steps to prevent it from happening again.
