Vatican City, Feb 5, 2019 / 02:01 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Pope Francis said Tuesday he is aware that mistreatment and abuse of religious women by clerics is still a problem, and that it is something the Church is working to end.

“It’s true, within the Church there have been clerics who have done this,” the pope said Feb. 5. “Must something more be done? Yes. Do we have the will? Yes.”
