Abuse victims say they saw progress under Pope Francis, just not enough

When Pope Francis extended his listening for over an hour during a Dublin meeting on clerical sexual abuse, many attendees were deeply affected—but some remained unconvinced he was doing enough to address decades of systemic failures within the Church. Rev. Paddy McCafferty, recalling being abused in the 1980s by a fellow clergy member, emphasized that "no one can do enough" to repair the harm caused.
