Pope Leo XIV met six clergy abuse survivors in Peru during a six-day visit, while hundreds of other survivors said they remained excluded as they sought justice, Al Jazeera reported.
The meeting came as the pope returned to Peru, where Deutsche Welle reported an estimated 3 million people greeted him in Lima. The outlet described the trip as a homecoming for the Peruvian-citizen pontiff, who called Peru his “homeland.” Deutsche Welle said he spent two decades in the country as a missionary and bishop. Al Jazeera reported that hundreds more survivors remained outside the meeting process.
