“God Weeps When Children Are Sexually Abused” – Pope Francis

“Pope Francis today in Philadelphia USA, met with victims of sexual abuse either by clergy men, church workers, teachers or family members.”

While empathizing with them after hearing their stories, Pope Francis said God weeps for the sexual abuse of children;

“I have in my heart these stories of suffering of those youth that were sexually abused. The people who had the responsibility to take care of these tender ones violated that trust and caused them great pain. God weeps for the sexual abuse of children.” he said
