  "account": "Pope Leo XIV met six victims of clerical abuse in Peru on Thursday, including some linked to the disbanded Catholic society Sodalitium Christianae Vitae. The US-born pontiff, who served as a missionary and bishop in Peru for nearly two decades, spent over an hour with each victim, listening to their stories and expressing gratitude for their testimonies. The church must make amends and foster a culture of prevention and protection, Leo emphasized during his address to bishops earlier in the day.",
  "summary": "The US-born pope is on a nostalgic return to the nation he calls his ‘homeland’ and is familiar with the abuse scandal from his time working in Peru as a missionary and bishop.",
