In the face of some 150,000 faithful gathered in Lourdes, Pope Leo XIV called on the Church to recognize and heal the wounds caused in her institution, in a homily in which she again referred to sexual abuse. Later, in the face of sick or disabled people, he rejected assisted death: "It is impossible to consider normal to cause death," he said, and warned against "false compassion." The Pontiff plans this Sunday to meet in private with seven victims of sexual abuse in the Church.
