Church Sex Scandals – level 2

24-01-2019 07:00

Hundreds of bishops came together for a seven-day meeting near Chicago. They said that they were there to reflect on sexual abuse scandals in the church. This is another move by the Catholic Church to respond to the sexual abuse scandals.

Somebody said that the two cardinals abused someone – Pope Francis removed them from his group of advisors.

Pope Francis is also going to meet bishops from around the world next month. They will discuss how to stop sex abuse.

Difficult words: abuse (when you abuse somebody, you hurt him or her), church (an important and old organisation also called an institution), advisor (somebody who advises – who says what to do to help another person).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
