Pope Francis used his annual Christmas address to demand that priests who have raped and molested children turn themselves in and to promise that the church would “never again” cover up clergy sex abuse.
“Let it be clear that before these abominations, the church will spare no effort to do all that is necessary to bring to justice whosoever has committed such crimes," Francis said to an assembled crowd of cardinals and bishops of the Roman Curia at the Vatican. “Convert and hand yourself over to human justice, and prepare for divine justice.”
