Pope Francis on Wednesday surprised and
irked victims of Roman Catholic clergy sex abuse when he praised a
gathering of U.S. bishops for their "courage" in handling the crisis,
and consoled them for how stressful it had been.
He also insisted that sex abuse at the hands of clergy must never happen again. His remarks brought a stinging rebuke from some abuse victims, who said courage should be reserved for themselves.
