POPE FRANCIS’ LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD
In response to the devastating report on clergy sexual abuse and subsequent coverups released by the Pennsylvania Grand Jury, Pope Francis has taken the unprecedented step of issuing a detailed letter to the People of God.
In the interest of our Pope’s exhortation that we hear “the heart-wrenching pain of these victims, which cries out to heaven” and allow “solidarity, in the deepest and most challenging sense, to become our way of forging present and future history” we encourage all of the faithful of our Archdiocese, our pastors, religious and lay pastoral workers to take time to read and reflect on the message it contains.
