Original Note:
Benedict was the first Pope to publicly address the church abuse crisis. He met with survivors and punished high-ranking church officials. He reformed church law, making it easier to defrock predator priests. As a result of Benedict’s reforms, 800+ abusers were defrocked. https://apnews.com/article/pope-francis-religion-vatican-city-sexual-abuse-fbd12ab979717ec2dec0781c017b79e0
