Catholic Church to hold worldwide day of prayer for sex abuse victims
The move was announced after the latest week-long meeting of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors in Rome. Established in 2014, the panel suffered a setback earlier this year when one of its members, British abuse survivor Peter Saunders was sidelined after complaining that it was doing nothing to break down a culture of complacency and cover-ups within the Church. And its emphasis on prayer and education is unlikely to appease critics who say the Church remains reluctant to hand paedophile priests over to the judicial authorities.

Is this news? The church's been preying on its abuse victims for ages. Maybe less time praying and more thinking would help. Easier said than done. Remember when the church was too busy pretending to be broke to pay their victims? Come to think of it, they still are. I sometimes think the church will never change.
Idon't think they will ever change.
So when do they have a day of prayer for the victims of the Catholic Church? i guess it would have to be much more than a day.
it never ceases to surprise me that we still have so many people seriously following ideas made up by desert nomads thousands of years ago. In any area other than religion, if I asked you to do things the way they were done in 0 AD, you'd laugh or ask me what the last mushroom I ate looked like. But in the realm of religion, it seems that any idea is taken seriously. How does the Catholic Church have any moral authority to say anything about victims of sex abuse, or any other kind of abuse? We're not just talking about an institution who has repeatedly supported child sexual abuse by their own clergy, but who has come up with some of the most exquisite methods of torture ever devised by man, and used them liberally to "help save the souls of the perverted and sinful".
Mushrooms are the food of the devil. You are going to hell.
So true..And if they prey,that means they don't have to do anything meaningful or useful at all.
