How do you put an international spotlight on an issue like child sexual abuse which people often don’t like to hear about? Have the leader of one the largest organized religions in the world stop by for a visit.
That’s what staff of the Philadelphia Children’s Alliance (PCA) are hoping will happen come September. The
nonprofit, which offers care to sexually abused children and works with
police to bring their abusers to justice, penned a letter to Pope
Francis asking him to visit their facility when he travels to
Philadelphia for the upcoming World Meeting of Families conference.
