Quote Of The Day - Pope Francis

"In particular I wish to express my compassion and to ensure my closeness in prayer to every victim of sexual abuse, and to their families; I ask you to continue to support them along the painful path of healing, that they have undertaken with courage." - Pope Francis, speaking today at a conference of Catholic bishops in the Netherlands.  The National Catholic Reporter notes that the Dutch Catholic Church has been dealing with 20,000 claims of sexual abuses by priests.
