Vatican Sex Abuse and Pope Pius
Manila, April 20, 2019 - For the first time in Catholic history, nearly 200 church leaders gathered on February 21, 2019 at the Vatican to confront the scourge of clerical sexual abuse, and the protectionist stance of high-ranking prelates.
Pope Francis, in his brief remarks said, he had not brought them together so they could issue "simple and predictable condemnations,” but to "listen to the cry of the little ones who ask for justice." The pontiff spoke for only two minutes before ceding the floor to the five video testimonies of sex abuse survivors. . . .
