As Pope Francis wraps up his first-ever visit to the U.S. with a stop in Philadelphia, he took time to express his sorrow over the sexual abuse scandal that has rocked the Catholic church in recent years.
The pope also met with a group of five sexual abuse survivors, some of them victims at the hands of clergy members, Huffington Post reported. Francis met with the survivors as a group, then spoke with them privately individually.
Francis will end his U.S. trip with an outdoor mass in Philadelphia that could draw up to one million people.
