The Vatican has confirmed that Pope León XIV will meet some victims of sexual abuse by clergy during his apostolic trip to Spain, which begins tomorrow.
Vatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni issued a statement on Friday evening confirming that the meeting will take place during the days of the apostolic trip. The encounter has been organized by the Spanish Church, although no details were provided on the date, location or participants in order to respect the victims' privacy. Affected groups have expressed disappointment at not being consulted and some plan protests on Monday outside the nunciature in Madrid. The Pope arrives in Spain tomorrow and will visit several cities until June 12.
