    • Abstract:
      The author discusses the need for Pope Francis to hear the stories of victims of clergy sexual abuse. The author narrates the story of a boy named Carl who experienced sexual abuse while working for the rectory of his parish priest. The author believes that Pope Francis should meet victims of sexual abuse such as Carl so that he might understand the negative reaction to his defense of the Catholic Church's handling of the scandal.
