Pope Benedict XVI's Visit to America

During the Pope's first visit in America since he became the pope for the Catholic churches he spoke at several times at many events that took place during his visit. Some main points that he discussed at these events were the need for Catholic priests to stop the molestation being practiced and for everyone to help in healing these victims. Also, he conducted a mass in which thousands of people were able to hear him say this. The pope was able to meet some of these victims that went through this sexual abuse and he assured them that he would do his best to prevent this.Another point that was talked about was about making a moral challenge to the U.S. culture on issues such as economic justice and abortion. In addition, he made an appeal to the church to set aside all anger and become united, despite each others conservative and liberal views.
