ROME (AP) — Pope Leo XIV will meet with survivors of clergy sexual abuse during his upcoming trip to Latin America, which will take the American pope to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru, the Vatican said Tuesday.
The Vatican statement didn’t say when the encounters would take place or where, but said “several meetings are planned,” suggesting more than one encounter. The Nov. 6-17 trip is going ahead as planned despite Leo’s Oct. 13 lung cancer surgery which had put the trip in question.
Leo seems alright, so its Very Difficult to not make jokes about this.
Wishy wishy washy washy
Holding an audience with the entirety of a whole continent is a massive undertaking
Once wasn’t enough, huh?

Head of abusers to meet with victims of abusers.
“Sorry that happened to you”
Ordering the perpetrators to go back and face temporal accountability is a great first step.
Releasing the names of priests they know have raped people is another great first step.
Funny how that’s not happening.
