Pope Francis finally departed the United States after a whirlwind
visit that attracted ginormous crowds in Washington, New York City and
finally Philadelphia but his visit clouded a priest sex abuse scandal.
The Pontiff first praised American bishops for their “generous commitment” to aid and support abuse victims, even went as far a saying that Catholic church leaders handled the crisis “without fear or self-criticism and the cost of mortification and great sacrifice.”
