Pope Francis expressed his 'great sorrow' for the victims of sexual abuse by French Catholic clergy after the publication on Tuesday of a devastating report, a Vatican spokesman said.
Pope Francis addresses the meeting “Faith and Science: Towards COP26” on October 4, 2021 in The Vatican, sending an appeal to participants in the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, scheduled from November 1 to 12 in Glasgow, Scotland.
The spokesman said the pontiff had learned “with pain” of the “appalling” results of an independent investigation, which found French Catholic clergy had sexually abused some 216,000 minors in the seven decades since 1950 — and covered it up with a “veil of silence”.
