In a handwritten letter by Pope Francis to a survivor of sexual
abuse in a Catholic school in Spain that surfaced on Friday, the pontiff
said he requested a Church trial against the teacher who allegedly
committed the abuse eight years ago.
News of the letter will likely be seen as a sign of the pontiff’s personal involvement in the abuse issue, coming on the heels of a private meeting with five abuse survivors in Philadelphia during his visit to the United States.
