Robert Costello, who survived sexual abuse by a
Roman Catholic priest when he was a child, says he is not looking
forward to Pope Francis’ visit to the U.S. this week. Costello is
disturbed by all of the media coverage of the visit and doesn’t think
this pope is doing enough to help survivors.
Earlier this year, he penned an open letter to the pope expressing his disapproval with how the scandal has been handled. He wishes Pope Francis would meet with survivors here in Boston, which Costello and other survivors call the ‘ground zero’ of the clergy sex abuse scandal.
