Eight victims of sexual abuse have been to Pope today. All victims were systemically abused at a orphanage in Malta and wanted the church to stop covering these things up. The Pope listened to descriptions of the victims and was deeply moved by them. The Pope did not apologized since it was not the fault of just one person. The victems prayed and cried, happy to be finally part of the church again which they had not been for years since their sufferings were denied.Today was different, because the Vatican finally admitted that they were sexually abused by members of the clergy.
It is not very nice to deny that things did not happen for several years, especially when we are talking about sexual abuse. I am glad that this encounter with the Pope, helps the victims to let go and be part of the church again. Not that I am such a big fan of the church, but if they find it important they should definitely go there. I agree to the fact that the Pope did not apologized since he is not responsible for the deeds of others.

All in all, I agree with your opinion. Also: Down with the Pope!
