Survivor of Clergy Sex Abuse in Peru Visits Pope’s Hometown to Call for More Reforms

PERU, JUL 31 – Ana María Quispe Díaz campaigns for global Catholic Church reforms citing failures in abuse investigations during Pope Leo XIV's time as bishop, with advocacy groups urging zero-tolerance policies.

  • On Thursday in Chicago, Ana María Quispe Díaz launched her campaign to call for reforms, alleging Pope Leo XIV neglected her abuse case when he was a bishop in Peru.
  • Ana María Quispe Díaz alleges she was abused by priest Eleuterio Vásquez Gonzáles when she was 9 and reported it to Bishop Robert Prevost in April 2022.
  • The Vatican ended its investigation in 2023, citing a statute of limitations, while church officials said Bishop Prevost did more than required and the Chiclayo's new bishop reopened the case last summer.
  • Amid stalled proceedings, SNAP sent a letter to the pope Thursday renewing accountability demands and revealed that the accused priest can now retire while investigations are delayed.
  • Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests has urged the Vatican to enshrine zero tolerance, provide reparations, forge international legal agreements, and establish an independent oversight panel, and advocates say civil society must press for these systemic reforms.
