To ensure the integrity, quality and reliability of the inquiry process and its results, the Focolare Movement also appointed Alain Christnacht, a former senior French civil servant, as an independent supervisor, with no connection to the Movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">At the request of the victims, the Focolare Movement entrusted the inquiry to an independent Commission in the same spirit with which the French Bishops\u2019 Conference commissioned CIASE (Commission ind\u00e9pendante sur les abus sexuels dans l\u2019\u00c9glise), in February 2019, to carry out an investigation into the whole of the Catholic Church in France with the sole aim of giving absolute priority to the victims in its investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">The independent body received testimonies covering the period 1958-2020 which clearly show that JMM was responsible for different levels of abuse of at least 26 victims. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><b>GCPS Consulting summarises the work done for the Inquiry as follows:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">\u201cListening to the victims was one of the main tasks and a challenging part of the process, for the victims and for the Inquiry team, but it is the most important element.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">The report describes events over five decades in which JMM abused or attempted to sexually abuse his victims, mainly teenage boys, describing his <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\"><i>modus operandi<\/i><\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\"> and also the context in which the abuse took place. The investigation listened to other victims of abuse, some sexual and also other types of abuse, from a significant number of victims and witnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">The fact that the abuse was widespread and not addressed, even when reported to those in positions of leadership and responsibility, is also a subject of the report. The Inquiry was asked to examine the extent to which the people responsible were aware of these events at the time and subsequently, and to assess how they were addressed. The report describes in detail how complaints were not responded to adequately, victims were not heard, were not treated appropriately, and how opportunities were missed to respond to JMM\u2019s abuse and to prevent subsequent incidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Finally, the report details how the Focolare Movement has developed safeguarding measures more recently and makes a number of recommendations to strengthen the safeguarding environment, including those related to fundamental changes in culture and leadership\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><b>After reviewing the report Margaret Karram, President of the Focolare Movement, said<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><i>\u201cThere are no words that can adequately express the shock and pain I feel at the harm that has been done to children and young people by <\/i><\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">JMM <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\"><i>and \u2013 I say this with immense suffering \u2013 not only by him, as is clear from the results of the inquiry.\u201d <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Addressing the victims, she added, <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\"><i>\u2018In this moment, all my thoughts and feelings are for you who have suffered a very serious crime that in many cases has ruined your lives\u2019. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><strong>\u201cTo each and every one of you personally,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>and together with co-president, Jes\u00fas Mor\u00e1n,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>and on behalf of the Focolare Movement,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>I humbly ask forgiveness.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><i>We must recognise that despite the good that the Movement has done throughout its history, here we failed in being vigilant, in listening and in being receptive to the cries for help from so many people. <\/i><\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\"><i><b>This must not happen again <\/b><\/i><\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\"><i>and is <\/i><\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\"><i>in total contradiction with the values that the Focolare Movement with its Christian spirituality is called to live.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><i>I commit myself on behalf of the Focolare Movement, to respond with action, listening, openness and preventive measures, to the final recommendations made by the Independent Inquiry\u201d. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">The Focolare Movement is more determined than ever to ensure that its communities around the world are safe places where there can be mutual enrichment. As the GCPS inquiry points out, in 2011 the Movement began an in-depth evaluation of measures to prevent abuse and safeguard people. Those measures were reviewed in 2014 and 2020 and will be further updated after an in-depth study of the results of this inquiry. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">The Focolare Movement has informed the French Bishops\u2019 Conference and the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life of the publication of the report. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">The Movement\u2019s main concern is to contribute as much as possible to the healing process of the victims, including financial compensation, if necessary and requested. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">For this reason, on the recommendation of the Church in France, the Focolare Movement has asked the \u201cCommission ind\u00e9pendante de reconnaissance et de r\u00e9paration\u201d (CRR), a multidisciplinary body composed of experts from civic society and set up by CORREF (Conf\u00e9rence des Religieux et Religieuses de France) to accompany victims who so wish on their path to reparation. As of now, victims can contact this body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">Mail: <a href=\"mailto:victimes@crr.contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">victimes@crr.contact<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">Tel: 09 73 88 25 71<br \/>\n<\/span>Internet site: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reconnaissancereparation.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.reconnaissancereparation.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">In order to fulfil its commitment to the victims of JMM, the Movement has for some months now been running a psychological support procedure coordinated by Dr Alexis Vancappel. This procedure will be maintained for the victims who have already used this service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"justify\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><b>The Focolare Movement states that <\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\"><b>in the coming weeks it will make <\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\"><b>known the procedures and measures it intends to put in place to respond to the recommendations contained in the report.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">The <\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\"><b>results of the survey <\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">are published in full and accessible to all on the <a href=\"https:\/\/gcps.consulting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GCPS Consulting<\/a> website and on <a href=\"https:\/\/focolari.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the French<\/a> as well as the international website of <a href=\"https:\/\/eyut279xk3q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/JMM-Inquiry-Report-En.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Focolare Movement<\/a>.
