Perez Hilton
Pope Francis has asked a pretty big request of the victims sexually abused by priests:
He wants them to forgive their abusers!
More specifically, The Pope says that HE assumes responsibility for the “evil” of priests who raped and molested children, and promised that the church will continue to fight its disturbing trend of sexual assault. That’s when he asked for forgiveness.
That’s a hard thing to do in ANY situation for ANY victim, especially since he’s been trying to fix the Catholic church’s awful reputation without publicly punishing the offending priests.
We’re pretty sure public outing and punishment is just what the people want!
