Gay Chilean sex abuse victim to meet with Pope Francis

Pope Francis has invited a gay man from Chile who was sexually abused by a priest to meet with him at the Vatican. Juan Carlos Cruz on Sunday told the Washington Blade during a telephone interview from Philadelphia that Francis invited him to be his “guest” at his official residence near St. Peter’s Basilica from April 26-May 1. Media reports indicate Francis will meet with Cruz on April 28-29. Cruz told the Blade that Francis wants “to spend as much time as possible with me.”
