French church abuse victims praise Pope Leo's empathy
Original: French church abuse victims praise Pope Leo for 'extraordinary' empathy
Victims of abuse in the French Catholic Church have praised Pope Leo for what they call his 'extraordinary' empathy. Their comments follow a meeting with the pontiff, and are being reported by French and international media. The remarks stand out given years of tension between victims and the Church hierarchy after France's damning abuse inquiries.
Why now: Pope Leo's warm reception by abuse victims marks a notable shift in the Church's handling of the abuse scandal.
