ROME (CBS) – The Philadelphia woman who is behind a website open for Catholic dialogue on the clergy sex abuse scandal is hoping the Cardinals selecting the next Pope will elect someone who isn’t afraid to tackle the crisis.
Susan Matthews, founder and publisher of Catholics4Change.com, says the site grew out of frustration over the lack of places for Catholics to speak freely and honestly about the clergy abuse scandal here in Philadelphia.
However, she says it’s just an issue limited to the United States, but is clearly a problem for the church all over Europe as well.
