SYDNEY, Australia — The Vatican said Pope Benedict XVI met with victims of clergy child sex abuse in Australia.
The pontiff held a Mass today with two men and two women who represented the victims of sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests as a gesture of consolation and his concern about the issue, the Vatican said in a statement.
The announcement was made as Benedict leaves Australia, where he attended the church’s youth festival. The pope on Saturday made a public apology to victims.
