The global scandal of sexual abuse in ecclesial settings is generating a reflection on the reasons why it is a structural problem of the Church. Despite the widespread reporting of offences against minors, still in the background are abuses whose victims are adults, especially women, abusive behaviors that do not affect the sexual dimension and those that take place within ecclesial institutions.
