PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company, reports that during Pope Francis' recent visit, he made a speech in Philadelphia addressing victims of sexual abuse and sexual harassment by Catholic priests. According to the NY Post, the pope privately met with victims who had been sexually abused by priests, telling them that God hears their cries and believes them, and he also vowed that officials from the church who are responsible will be held accountable for their actions. Later, also according to the article in the NY Post, he gave a speech at St. Charles Borromeo to bishops as well as students during which he promised to right the wrongs caused by Catholic priests to restore the faith of American Catholics. Pope Francis expressed his compassion and condolences for the victims, saying that their tales have moved him. The shock of the Catholic Church sex abuse started in the early 2000's, and Pope Francis expressed the disgrace this has caused and burdened him with, that people who were responsible for caring for these children raped them and caused them so much pain in their lives. It is clear that he is remorseful that Catholic priests have done such horrific things to children, and he is determined to find the truth, stating that clergy and bishops will absolutely be held accountable for abusing these children and failing to protect them. Other topics Pope Francis spoke of during his U.S. visit were human rights, poverty, and climate change.

Chris Janish, CEO, commented on Pope Francis' recent speech, "The pope's message to condemn sex abuse in the U.S. and Catholic clergy was one of compassion to the victims. Unfortunately, the Vatican in Rome and the entire Catholic Church has turned a blind eye to these victims for far too long, while trying to sweep this societal epidemic under the rug. The issues go further than just the Catholic Church, as we saw last month the Subway spokesman Jared Fogle plead guilty to counts involving child pornography."
