Pope Francis will supposedly meet with clergy sex abuse victims in Mexico in February. We are not impressed. Instead of creating public relations opportunities by meeting with victims, Francis should be taking decisive action to reduce the number of victims.

Several popes have met several times with dozens of victims. Each of these events leads to greater complacency. None of these events has led to a single helpful step toward prevention.

We long for the day a pope actually does something that exposes predators, punishes enablers and advocates for better secular child safety laws, rather than engage in more symbolic, meaningless gestures about this on-going crisis.
