Archbishop Robert Carlson invited Catholics to repent and seek forgiveness for the Roman Catholic Church in the wake of reports of sexual abuse and cover ups by clergy in Pennsylvania.
“The church today around the world and here in the Archdiocese of St. Louis suffers from the wounds of many scandals,” Carlson said Friday at the Cathedral Basilica in his homily at a “Mass of Reparation” for victims of sexual abuse. “The body of Christ experiences the weight of scandal and is in need of divine mercy in order to be healed.”
