People who suffered abuse at the hands of Catholic priests are split on whether Quebec’s Marc Cardinal Ouellet should be a candidate to replace Pope Benedict.
One victims group based here in Quebec is siding with the American group SNAP. It has put Ouellet on a list of a dozen Cardinals it feels are unfit to be Pope because of their handling of clergy abuse cases.
