cardinals accused of protecting predatory priests. and i'm joined now in the studio by religious affairs correspondent martin get co martin first of all what is the significance of this trip to ireland for the pope what's at stake for if you're going to use a family reunion it happens every three years and it's a way to celebrate both the family as an institution but also as a foundational value so that's this world families marching this is the reason why the pope is going there obviously a lot of the emphasis on this pope of this pope on the family has been on children and this of course in the context of the current scandals and further revelations make this trip a very sensitive one also because ireland itself is one of the centers of this drama i mean when and when the scandal began to surface. it show it's legal it's global it's global reach but it is made ireland really one of the focal points because of the sheer amount of like priests and the influence of the catholic

church in the country that's right and abuse survivors will be watching this visit very closely he'll be meeting some of those abusive ivans during the visit i'm going to ask him about that in a second first though this report on how past clerical abuse has been affecting the irish police it was abused by family members and a priest when she was just a child she lived like a prisoner for moving ten years in this catholic reform school in will fit where she was beaten and to mentored by nuns they talked to and to believing that it was her fault she was raped until now not one of police's abuses have been brought to justice. and i think they always win. you know so i didn't you know i really don't think about the not things that just i haven't we didn't stories of mass child abuse by priests have left many irish people disgusted with the church seventy eight percent continue to call themselves

catholic but the country has changed since pope john paul a second visited pope francis may find a less enthusiastic welcome. maybe a different tone and i think i will be jumped for joy. by quite skeptical generally visionaries but i think it's i think it's no i mean it's good many here are hoping that pope francis will give them good reason to make peace with the church by taking concrete action on the abuse scandals ireland's prime minister will receive the pontiff dublin castle he's promised to raise the issue with the pope but everything that we know about child sex abuse over the past couple of decades we know from victims we know from advocates we know from government reports including many of our own we don't tend to know where the church admitting its own sense i think that would be a very good place to start five hundred thousand faithful are expected to descend on phoenix park for mass with the pope will be hoping for a much more than just his blessing. still with me martin gak our

religious affairs correspondent martin we've been talking to one irish abuse survivor who doesn't believe you just told us that he doesn't believe that pope francis is fully committed to the task of tackling this abuse scandal within the catholic church what's your view is he committed it seems to me that this pope is committed or us committed sort of the head of the church can be in the conditions of in the institutional conditions in which the church exists this is just a it's a mess of operation it's a massive institution in which most of the people that have actually operated a clerical level have been there for like twenty thirty forty years so the problem that the church has is not simply sort of address. they should selfridges addressing the crimes finding redress for the crimes finding a way to stop further crimes finding a way to stop the cover up of those crimes but on top of that there is a question as to how to change institutional culture within the church and that of

course these are all things that are and why it's extremely difficult for just one man in a six year period to actually changes nonetheless it has to be said that for a purpose he that has been talking about zero tolerance for six straight years twelve years after this came to light or fourteen years actually after it came to light the progress it's really is really meager twenty eight i mean it's a huge ship that he's trying to turn around i hear what you're saying watch could he do what should he do in ireland to send the signal that he is committed to change that institutional culture within the catholic church just think and has been very clear and it has been emerging with more and more force over the last couple of they since pennsylvania the pope has to go up on a podium over the next few days and tell ireland and tell the world that in fact the vatican will turn will turn every the nz records documents to national

authorities and the just is across different jurisdictions this is really the direct item in the edge and i think that it's a very tall order giving the institutional conditions that abramoff to actually prosecute this in courts of last around the world is really what is what is directly in front of him ok mountain always good to talk to detail these religious affairs correspondent martin get. we're going to turn our attention to venezuela now estimated two million people have left the country in recent years fleeing food shortages poverty and economic chaos u.n. officials are now saying the region is heading towards what they describe as a crisis moment similar to the one in europe's in the mediterranean back in twenty fifteen with neighboring states trying to hold the influx across their borders. has been accompanying one group of venezuelan migrants in colombia. they've got so much luggage they need help carrying it down hill. these two
