Victims of pedophile priests hope to present a demand for justice to Pope Benedict XVI when he visits Mexico.
Debate has grown around the Vatican’s handling of the scandal surrounding the influential order of deceased Mexican priest Marcial Maciel ahead of the papal visit to Mexico, which begins on Friday.
Maciel directed the influential Legion of Christ order, which he founded in 1941, to his death.
Benedict XVI has met victims of sexual abuse during foreign visits, but is apparently not planning to do so in Mexico, where many victims are still seeking justice.
