	Pope Pressured To Address Church's Sex Abuse Crisis By Sylvia Poggioli KPCC March 31, 2010 http://www.scpr.org/news/2010/03/31/pope-pressured-to-address-churchs-sex-abuse-crisis/ ITALY -- Allegations of child abuse by Catholic priests have emerged in Italy. Three men say they were abused as boys at a Catholic school for the deaf. They say no action has been taken against the priests - even though they reported the cases more than a year ago. Pope Benedict is under pressure to make a full response to abuse charges in Europe and the U.S. As the faithful fill churches during Holy Week, a wave of clerical sex abuse revelations is sweeping Europe. The latest allegations come from Italy, just outside Vatican walls. As the scandal mounts, Pope Benedict XVI is under increasing pressure to give a more forceful response to the most serious crisis of his papacy.
