A group of Catholic priests listens to victims of sexual abuse by priests on Friday at a meeting in Wynnewood, Pa. Hundreds of priests in the Philadelphia Archdiocese were summoned by the cardinal Friday to hear from the two adults, who as children were molested by priests. The meeting was called as part of an effort by the church to teach members of the clergy about victims' struggles to rebuild their lives. The victims were joined by a woman whose two sons were abused. All three speakers said they came from Catholic families and that it was hard for them to report the abuse. Abuse victim Edward Morris, 44, told the priests that the church has lost generations of followers because of crimes committed by clergy.
