This September, Pope Francis will make his
first visit to the United States since he ascended to the papacy in
2013. His itinerary will include stops in Philadelphia, Washington D.C.,
and New York.
It will not, as of now, include Boston, the epicenter of one of the biggest scandals in the church’s history. In 2002, The Boston Globe reported on a widespread sexual abuse cover-up within the Boston Archdiocese, the effects of which are still felt today.
