As the church works through its sex-abuse crisis, the Vatican is
struggling to figure out how to hold cardinals and bishops accountable,
investigative journalist Jason Berry tells NPR's Scott Simon.
Yesterday, Pope Francis released his Amoris Laetitia proclamation on family life. He calls on priests to support their parishioners, including those who are divorced, gay or pregnant out of wedlock, and to love rather than judge them. But the pope stopped short of actually endorsing same-sex marriage. The document lands on a Catholic church that is still working through its abuse crisis.
