A dramatic feature of the sex abuse summit now underway at the Vatican has been the testimony of eight victims from around the world anonymously recounting their experience of abuse. But the Vatican has no idea of if the victims' abusers are still active as priests, a main organizer of the summit told CBC News. Zollner said all but one of the victims the Vatican chose to provide testimony to a closed-door room of bishops wanted to protect their anonymity. She questions the credibility of the church if it does not know if the abusive priests are still in ministry. Sex abuse survivors and members of the group Ending Clergy Abuse hold a wooden cross as they march in downtown Rome on Saturday.
