	Pope's Meeting with Victims Hits Home NECN April 18, 2008 http://www.necn.com/Boston/World/Popes-meeting-with-victims-hits-home-/1208481235.html [with video] Two local victims talk about what Pope Benedict's meeting with abuse victims means to them. An outspoken survivor of clergy sex abuse says Pope Benedict's meeting with abuse victims is "a long-sought-for step in the right direction." Gary Bergeron says the Catholic Church is partly based on symbolism, and that "the symbolism had he not met with survivors would have been horrendous." A papal spokesman says that Benedict and Boston Cardinal Sean O'Malley met with a group of about five or six victims for about 25 minutes in the chapel of the papal embassy in Washington.
