Who are we?

We are a global network of Catholic lawyers committed to ending sexual abuse by Catholic priests around the world.

Unlike other entities, we are not against the Roman Catholic Church, we all live in the mystical body of the Church, we only fight for the good of the Church.

Collaborators

The global pro bono lawyers project started from experiences involving the Cicatrizes da Fé (Scars of Faith) institution, founded in 2018 by lawyers Guilherme Dudus and Maristela Basso and sexual abuse victim Elissandro Siqueira.
