Survivors Voice Co-Founder & Child Abuse Advocate Gary Bergeron says inviting the pope to address congress is simply wrong. The following is a statement released by Survivors Voice Co-Founder
Gary Bergeron on the invitation extended to Pope Francis to address the
US Congress:
"The term ‘History will be the judge' is often used when speaking of public officials. The public and quite often members of the press continue to display what seems, at times, to be an almost a giddy admiration of Pope Francis as he begins his journey to the United States. As an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I would like the public to reflect on the recent history of the institution this man heads.
