The pope met privately with eight Maltese victims of sexual abuse in the Vatican's embassy in Valletta.
A statement issued by the Vatican after the meeting said he prayed with the men and assured them the Church will continue doing all in its power to investigate allegations, to bring to justice those responsible for abuse and to implement effective measures designed to safeguard young people in the future.
The statement was one of the clearest yet from the Vatican that it wants local bishops to cooperate with civil authorities in prosecuting priests who abused children.
It also stated the pope was deeply moved by the stories of the abuse victims and expressed his shame and sorrow over what they and their families have suffered.
This is interesting, I wonder when all this will take place, Sometime after they all die. Hey girl whats shaking.
