Sex abuse in the church was long ignored, kept quiet or silenced.

This is what Pope Francis wrote in a letter to all Catholics.

In the letter, the Pope admitted that
the church failed to recognize the scale of the damage.

His statement came in response to fresh reports of large-scale clerical sexual abuse of minors in Pennsylvania.

Radio Sputnik discussed this with David Clohessy, former executive director of SNAP – the Survivors Network of Those Abused By Priests.
