Catholic Church Abuse Victims Come to Britain for Pope Visit

As Pope Benedict prepares to tour Great Britain this week, he does so in the shadow of child sex-abuse scandals that have affected Catholic parishes around the world. Abuse victims have come to Britain to persuade the Pope and the Vatican to do more to combat abuse in the Catholic Church.

Americans Therese Albrecht and Barbara Blaine are in Britain for the Pope's visit and represent the group Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP). They want more openness about abuse in the Catholic Church.

THERESE ALBRECHT: "I was raped at 8 years of age by a Catholic priest in Chicago, Illinois."
BARBARA BLAINE: "We are asking that the Pope and the Vatican establish a worldwide database with the names of all of the known and credibly-accused predator priests"
