    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the plan of Pope Francis to meet with a group of sex abuse victims after his return from his trip to the Holy Land from May 24-26, 2014. The pope considers priestly sexual abuse as betrayal to their duties of leading young people to holiness and commits to seriously address the problem. It notes that the people will meet a group of six to eight sexual abuse victims from various countries and will celebrate a private mass with them in the Casa Santa Marta guesthouse.
