💨 Abstract

Pope Francis, during a flight back from Belgium, stated that the compensation given to victims of Catholic clergy sexual abuse in Belgium was "too small" and did not meet their needs. He reiterated the Church's commitment to helping survivors and punishing abusers. The pontiff was urged by Belgium's political leaders to take more concrete actions to address the issue. Francis met with survivors in Belgium, acknowledging it as his duty to help them.
