Abuse victims of the Catholic church have condemned Pope Francis comments labeling the church’s critics “friends of the devil”.
During a speech to pilgrims from Southern Italy on Wednesday, the Pope said “defects” from the church had to be denounced so they could be corrected, and those who criticize “without love” were linked to the devil.
Many have condemned these comments saying they could endanger people in some parts of the world where his words are followed very closely.
