Recently two different constituencies in the Catholic Church have
complained of feeling misunderstood or let down by Pope Francis, and
it’s instructive to compare the pontiff’s responses in each case.
One group is made up of Eastern Catholics, especially the 5 million-strong Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine, while the other is composed of survivors of clerical sexual abuse. In a nutshell, the pope’s reaction to the former seems a textbook example of effective outreach, while the latter so far appears largely a tale of missed opportunities.
