VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis summoned bishops from around the world to Rome for an unprecedented meeting focused on protecting minors. The order on Wednesday comes as the pope wrestles with a global clerical sexual abuse crisis and explosive accusations of a cover-up that have shaken his papacy and the entire Roman Catholic Church. After three decades of denial, the Vatican is being forced to treat the sex abuse problem as a global crisis, and not the failing of a particular country or culture. The study was due to be published later this month, but was leaked. When it spread to Canada, Ireland, England and Australia,. Then, when the scandal erupted in Germany, Belgium, France and Austria around 2010 during the papacy of Benedict XVI, the Vatican termed it a problem of the developed world, born of sexual libertinism. Now, with cases of priests sexually abusing children emerging in Chile and the Philippines, the Vatican may finally be adopting an international approach. Collins said she welcomed news of a global meeting of bishops, but only if it produces concrete actions, and not just more talk. Professor Caffo said the conference would focus on training bishops to spot abuse, hold one another accountable and to intervene. They will also be taught to listen to victims. The guidelines, he said, would be aimed at protecting not just children but also vulnerable adults, including the handicapped and seminarians. The Vatican commission on child sex abuse , Ms. On Thursday, the pope is to meet at the Vatican with a group of leading bishops from the United States who are seeking an investigation into why one of their most prominent colleagues was allowed to ascend to a top position in the American church, despite allegations that he had sexually abused seminarians. Reports of misconduct by that prelate, the former archbishop of Washington, D. Cardinal Wuerl, formerly the archbishop of Pittsburgh, has faced withering criticism since the release last month of saying that more than 1,000 children had been victimized over decades in Pennsylvania, and that church leaders had covered it up. The McCarrick case continues to shake the church. Neither Francis nor Benedict, who is retired, have responded to the letter, which has opened up inside the Vatican. He tries to uncover the sins, so they are visible in order to scandalize the people. Many survivors of abuse, and people who campaign on their behalf, have lamented that the letters and the power struggles they have uncorked in the Vatican have eclipsed the central issue of protecting children from abuse within the church. The meetings Francis has called for February are intended to put the issue front and center again. For decades, abuse festered in the church. It was not until 2002 that the sexual abuse crisis came into open view, and the Vatican was forced to acknowledge a problem that has threatened its credibility around the world. Under Pope John Paul II, Benedict served as the prefect for the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith and personally read many of the files about clerical abuse. As pope, he cracked down on hundreds of priests. There were high hopes after the election of Francis in 2013 that he would tackle the abuse problem systemically, and hold accountable bishops who covered it up. And at first, abuse survivors were encouraged when Francis appeared to act on a proposal by his special commission on sexual abuse to create a tribunal to discipline bishops who covered it up. But when it met resistance in the Vatican, the pope dispensed with it. This enraged abuse survivors on the commission. Last month, on a flight from Dublin to Rome, Francis addressed the criticism over his lack of a universal response — or special tribunal — for bishops. A single approach can have far different consequences in different countries. In some, reporting allegations to the civil authorities may be a death sentence for priests. Hans Zollner, president of the Center for Child Protection of the Pontifical Gregorian University, said that in the last two years, he had heard far fewer bishops dismissing sexual abuse as an American or European problem. Father Zollner said that when he spoke about the issue on Wednesday to about 120 new bishops from Africa, Asia and Latin America, one asked him what to do when a fellow bishop does not cooperate with civil authorities, or is not following church law. Father Zollner said he hoped the global meeting in February would address this very question. He said that the years of delay on the issue had to end.
