According to a report on Vanguard, the Pope who spoke to reporters on the return flight from Philadelphia to Rome, at the end of his pilgrimage to Cuba and the United States, noted that abusing children was “almost a sacrilege’’ and a betrayal of the call of God for a priest.

He added: “And those who have covered up these things are also guilty, even some bishops have covered up, it is a very bad thing.”

And having about 30 minutes with three women and two women who had been sexually harassed by clergy members, the leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics said: “I promise that all those responsible for the sexual abuse of children will be punished.”
