"It still took Francis a while to learn how bad the sex abuse scandal was, how pervasive it was and how global it was. And he made mistakes. He admitted he made mistakes." Pope Francis worked to improve the way the Church dealt with sex abuse cases. He was ultimately obliged to admit mistaken judgement in a number of cases, and the Church’s lack of transparency in handling a number of high-profile abuse cases would haunt him throughout his pontificate. http://abcnews.link/hsdq0X4
