Pope Francis acknowledged yesterday that the huge cover-up of sexual abuse is driving people away from the Catholic Church, the VOA News website reports today (September 26, 2018).
Speaking to several hundred young people in the Estonian capital of Tallinn, Francis acknowledged that the historical revelations were driving people away from the church.
"They are upset by sexual and economic scandals that do not meet with clear condemnation," he said during the final leg of his three-day trip to the Baltic states.
Francis added: "This is very bad when a church, a community, behaves in such a way that young people believe that it cannot give anything to their lives."
