Victims of pedophilia in the Church have reported being excluded from a meeting with the Pope. They describe themselves as being treated as "díscolos y molestos", or troublesome. El País has been investigating pedophilia in the Spanish Church since 2018.

The newspaper has compiled information on the issue, which is available for further reading. Further details on the investigation and the experiences of the victims can be found through El País' dedicated resource on pedophilia in the Spanish Church.
