The Meeting

Yesterday, when I started to read about Benedict's reception of victims of sexual abuse, it made so happy. It's hopeful. I'm the first person to say that we haven't done enough to address the roots of this problem, but the fact that Benedict has come back to it in every speech he's made so far, and that he actually met personally with a few victims, it makes me so grateful for him and gives me hope. Hope is meant to be the theme of his visit, after all.
