Pope Francis met with victims of child sexual abuse Sunday, the final
day of his U.S. visit, and promised to hold accountable those
responsible for the scandal in the church, delivering a powerful warning
to American bishops accused of covering up for pedophile priests
instead of reporting them to police.
In a gesture of reconciliation just hours before he was to return to Rome, the pontiff praised the victims as "true heralds of mercy" who deserve the church's gratitude for helping to bring the truth to light.
