Pedophilia: Pope, cruel acts, Church ask for forgiveness

(ANSA) - VATICAN CITY, SEPTEMBER 18 - Pedophilia is a "very serious upheaval" for the Church and it is necessary to ensure that the well-being of the victims is not "put aside in favor of the misunderstood concern for the reputation of the Church as an institution. On the contrary, only by facing the truth of these cruel behaviors and humbly seeking the forgiveness of victims and survivors, the Church will be able to find its way to be once again considered a place of trust and safety for those in need ". The Pope says this in the video message for the meeting on the issue that will begin tomorrow in Warsaw, Poland.
