In 2003, Hill was scheduled to perform at a Christmas benefit concert at the [[Vatican City|Vatican]], located in a 7,500-seat concert hall customarily used by the [[Pope]] for his weekly general audiences. During the concert, Hill spoke out against [[Catholic Church sexual abuse cases|sexual abuse of children by priests]], stating "God has been a witness to the corruption of his leadership, to the exploitation and abuses. It is the least one can say about the clergy." Hill added "I realize some of you may be offended by what I'm saying, but what do you say to the families who were betrayed by the people in whom they believed?". The Pope was not in attendance; however, concert attendees included Cardinal [[Camillo Ruini]], the pope's [[vicar]] for Rome and the head of [[Italian Bishops Conference|Italian bishops conference]], his deputy, [[Monsignor]] [[Rino Fisichella]], and [[Edmund Szoka]].
