Victims of clerical sex abuse have expressed skepticism over a Vatican investigative commission that will collect statements and information about abuse in Mexico, though most said they would meet with Pope Francis' investigators.

"Only by speaking with them can you demand results," said Biani Lopez-Antunez, who was abused by a Legion of Christ school director in Cancun between the ages of 8 and 10 years old.

"The results of this visit must be measured only based on the facts, the reports, because I'm already tired of the fake action that operates at all levels of the Church."
"In my case, there were 20 victims and I was the only one who came forward," he said. "Of the 50 victims that have come to our organization, only two filed formal complaints and there are priests who abused 100 or 130 victims."
