PA Attorney General Josh Shapiro Responds To Letter From Pope Francis

Pennsylvania’s top law enforcement official says he hopes the state’s Roman Catholic leaders will “cease their denials and deflections” about a grand jury report into sexual abuse of children by priests following a letter to the faithful from Pope Francis condemning the attacks and efforts to hide them. Attorney General Josh Shapiro says the letter the pope sent Monday “acknowledges the painful truth.” The pope’s letter said church officials “showed no care for the little ones.”
