At the end of his pilgrimage to Australia Pope Benedict XVI met privately on Monday with Australians who were sexually abused as children by priests. The pontiff held prayers and spoke with four abuse victims — two men and two women — in the last hours of his 9-day visit to the country. Critics say it was a public relations stint. What do you think?

It could be a PR stunt, but it could also be him wanting to try and help those who have been abused by people exploiting their position of trust.

Who cares if it is only a PR stunt as long as it means something to the four victims he met and to other people who suffered abuse. If it helps them in some way, it was worth it.
