@Pol098: Thank you for your efforts to contribute content to this article. However, the events you added, involving allegations of sexual abuse and their aftermath, are only peripherally related to this article, and seem like a standard example of WP:COATRACK. I would have you know that I read the sources, and even added one to a previously unsubstantiated remark rather than deleting it out of hand. I do not mean to imply that these allegations are not credible. However, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a soapbox for advocacy. Allegations from half a century ago, about activities unrelated to the organization's mission, in a country where a worldwide organization has only a minimal presence, are barely worth mentioning in this article. Description of the Comboni Survivors Group and Mark Murray's activities are entirely off-topic. Please read Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Stay on topic. I realize this subject may be important to you, and I would encourage you to publish information about these events elsewhere on the internet. Sondra.kinsey (talk) 13:57, 12 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Now that the IICSA has published its Report, it is time to revisit this. The article is on the "Comboni Missionaries of the Heart of Jesus". That they perpetrated abuse is totally on-topic, although "about activities unrelated to the organization's mission" - the organization did these things, though contrary to their stated mission. It is time to add to the article from the Report, a reliable source. For reference, the text deleted - much of which is now supported by the Report - is here. The Report comments that the Comboni Order used wording to minimise their misdeeds; saying "Allegations from half a century ago, about activities unrelated to the organization's mission, in a country where a worldwide organization has only a minimal presence, are barely worth mentioning" fits that policy.
