STORYLINE:
Pope Francis promised Saturday to “offer all the help we can” to help victims of clergy sexual abuse heal after victims told him first-hand of the trauma that had shattered their lives and left many in poverty and mental misery.

Francis’ visit to Belgium has been dominated by the abuse scandal, with King Philippe and Prime Minister Alexander De Croo both blasting the Catholic Church’s legacy of abuse and its decades-long cover-up of priests’ sex crimes.

Francis met for more than two hours late Friday with 17 survivors who are seeking reparations from the church for the trauma they suffered and to pay for the therapy many need.

They said they gave Francis a month to study their demands for greater financial reparations — a demand the Vatican said Francis was studying.

During a meeting with Belgian clergy and nuns at the Koekelberg Basilica, Francis acknowledged that abuse had created “atrocious suffering and wounds,” and undermined the faith.
