Pope Benedict XVI recognizes the damage and pain caused by the clergy sex abuse crisis and will seek to heal wounds during his U.S. trip next week, the Vatican's No. 2 official said Tuesday.

In an interview, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, said Benedict will deliver a message of "trust and hope" when he meets American clergy at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York.

Nearly 14,000 molestation claims have been filed against Catholic clergy since 1950 a substantial chunk of them in recent years.
