Bono Discusses Irish Church Scandal With Pope
(Vatican City) — Irish rock star Bono says Pope Francis is “aghast” about the sexual abuse crisis in Ireland. The U2 singer spoke with the Pope for about 30 minutes Wednesday about teaming up his global anti-poverty campaign with a papal group that helps schools worldwide. Bono told reporters afterward that they inevitable talked about sexual abuse in the Irish Church. Bono said he explained to the Pope that it looks to some people that the abusers are being more protected than the victims, and that he could see the pain in the Pope’s face. The singer said, ” I felt he was sincere, and I think he is an extraordinary man for extraordinary times.”
