God Weeps For The Sexual Abuse of Children" - Pope Francis

The Holy Father of the Catholic church who has been in the United States for almost a week now, yesterday met with victims of sexual abuse either by clergy men, church workers, teachers or family members in Philadelphia USA.

While empathizing with them after hearing their stories, Pope Francis said God weeps for the sexual abuse of children;

"I have in my heart these stories of suffering of those youth that were sexually abused. The people who had the responsibility to take care of these tender ones violated that trust and caused them great pain. God weeps for the sexual abuse of children." he said
