Sarah Pearson, in black coat, was part of a group of sex abuse survivors who called on U.S. bishops, in a Nov. 16 press conference in Baltimore, to focus less on who can take Communion and instead do more about sex abuse. Survivors, outside the fall meeting of U.S. bishops, also said they were concerned with the "pernicious idea" from the group Church Militant protesting nearby that homosexuality is linked to pedophilia and called on bishops and Pope Francis to denounce it.
