A group representing victims of priest sexual abuse blasted Pope Francis
Wednesday for his remarks to U.S. bishops praising their response to
the scandal while failing to utter the words "sexual abuse."
Francis referred to the crisis only obliquely, telling the bishops he was "conscious of the courage with which you have faced difficult moments in the recent history of the Church in this country without fear of self-criticism and at the cost of mortification and great sacrifice."
