Hear from Episcopal Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe and explore faith groups’ responses to Trump at RNS’ free virtual event on May 20.

Pope Leo XIV draws praise on handling sex abuse — and some complicated allegations

Abuse watchdog groups have blasted Pope Leo XIV, elevating allegations in some survivor communities that the he failed while leading a diocese in Peru to properly investigate  allegations that two priests sexually abused them as children.
