Sylvania OH – Nobody likes to admit they made a mistake, but that’s what Pope Francis has done.
Last month he accepted the resignations of Chilean bishops he robustly defended earlier this year despite claims of a cover-up of clergy sexual abuse.
It’s a move that later forced the pontiff into making a public apology.
“Francis is in so many ways a sign of hope, recognizes he made a mistake, made up for it, apologized and it looks like he will take some steps to improve the situation” according to Rev. James Bacik.
Bacik spoke Thursday night at Lourdes University about Pope Francis’ handling of the clergy sex scandal.
