Alexander De Croo's blistering welcome speech at the start of Francis ’ visit is one of the most pointed ever directed at the pope during a foreign trip.
Pope Francis applauded at the end of de Croo’s speech and was expected to meet with victims in private later Friday .
“When something goes wrong we cannot accept cover-ups,” he said in an improvised response.
The pope expresses the shame of the church for the scandal and vows to end it.
Victims have demanded the church do far more, including implementing robust reparations programs.
Francis said he was saddened’ to learn of these practices, but said criminality was “mixed in with what was unfortunately the prevailing view in all parts of society at this time”.
