Pope Leo XIV has met 15 Belgian victims of sexual abuse from members of the clergy. It is a step on the right direction but like ‘Mao’s Long Walk’ it will be a very long journey to justice and a safer world.
The crimes of some religious people are well documented and they smear the good work of the majority. Religious leaders and many other parts of society must recognise what has and is happening, stop it from reoccurring and support the victims.
This would be a true miracle but they do seem to happen from time to time.
