Pope Leo Acknowledges Church Failures, Moving French Abuse Survivors
Original: French abuse survivors deeply moved as Pope Leo acknowledges Church's failures
Pope Leo has acknowledged the failures of the Catholic Church in responding to abuse, drawing an emotional reaction from French survivors of clerical abuse. Survivors described being deeply moved by the recognition, which many have long sought after years of pressure on the Church to confront the scale of abuse and institutional cover-ups in France.
Why now: The Pope's public acknowledgment of Church failures is a significant moment for French abuse survivors seeking recognition and accountability.
