VATICAN, CITY/PARIS – Pope Francis
called for “severe punishment” for pedophiles on Sunday after new
details emerged in Italy of the 2014 death of a 6-year-old girl who is
alleged to have been thrown from an eighth-story balcony by her abuser.
“This is a tragedy. We should not tolerate the abuse of minors,” Francis said, departing from prepared remarks at his weekly Sunday message and blessing to tens of thousands of people in St. Peter’s Square.
