Pope prays with victims of clergy sex abuse
Pope Benedict XVI prayed with tearful victims of clergy sex abuse in a chapel, in an extraordinary gesture from a pontiff who has made atoning for the great shame of the US church the cornerstone of his first papal trip to America.
Benedict’s third day in the US began yesterday with a packed open-air Mass celebrated in 10 languages at a baseball stadium, and included a speech to Roman Catholic college and university presidents.
