Pope Francis is not Enough, Sexual Abuse by Priests Remains a Taboo in Italy

Incredibly, in Italy there are no official statistics on minors who have been victims of sexual abuse by priests. The recent efforts of Pope Francis will be useless if we don’t break down the wall of silence - even maintained by the media - that has covered up the scandal of pedophile priests in Italy even after the US had started to expose and prosecute them.

Mother Teresa: Having a Saint as a Friend is a Miracle

Teresa was a good friend of my father who helped nuns of her order. When we first met, in my Volkswagen bus, I had long hair and was an atheist and she said to me: "I’m pleased to meet you. But right now speed up because we’re in a hurry.” Years later, she visited my second son who was gravely ill in the hospital and she started to pray…
