Victims of sexually abusive
priests from across the Americas joined forces Monday to urge Pope
Francis to allow civilian justice to punish pedophiles and those who
covered up their crimes. From the United States to Argentina, Chile, Mexico and other nations,
victims issued a letter made public in Mexico City telling the
Argentine pontiff that “words are not enough.”
The letter said that only civilian trials and Church reform will put
an end to the “great holocaust of thousands of boys and girls who were
sacrificed to avoid scandal and salvage the image and prestige of the
Catholic Church’s representatives in the world.”http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/02/words-are-not-enough-child-abuse-victims-urge-pope-francis-to-take-action-against-pedophile-priests/
