Pope Leo XIV to meet French abuse victims
The article reports on Pope Leo XIV’s upcoming visit to France, where he will meet privately with seven survivors of clergy sexual abuse at Lourdes. The survivors, who come from various backgrounds and have experienced abuse in different Catholic institutions, emphasize that their participation does not represent all victims and criticizes the Church’s handling of abuse cases. The meeting follows years of acknowledgment by the French Catholic Church of its abuse history and efforts to establish compensation systems, but critics remain concerned about the selection process and the church’s commitment to concrete action.
