Pope meets Child Abuse Victims

For the first time Pope Benedict meet Child abuse victims at the Seminarju Tal-Virtu'. This was a great step that the Holy Father made and the best thing that came out of it was that it was not done just for the sake of getting some positive PR. Media was not aware of the same meeting from the begining so that the identity of these victims would be protected.
This meeting opens a new chapter for the Church, both in Malta and also around the world,prompt action must be taken from ecclesiastical authorities in creating a system where cases of child abuse are directly sent for police investigation and not covered up to hide the shame that they carry with them. Abuse victims have suffered in silence long enough. It's time that they get their dignity back!
The Pope with this Intense meeting showed us that there is nothing wrong for one to recognize his mistakes and work for a better future with a cleaner and more transparent church!
