news has been following one family as a journeys across borders. with. thanks for joining us i'm marian evans dean the head of the catholic church pope francis is in dublin for the first papal trip to ireland in nearly forty years the pope is visiting a country that was once staunchly catholic but has since undergone huge social reforms his visit comes as the church faces were new pressure to tackle sex abuse within its ranks damning new revelations have raised serious doubts over the leadership of senior cardinals and bishops who are accused of protecting predatory priests he's been telling an audience of dublin council that he shares the shame and pain of the church's failure to tackle abuse from bush who could be. i cannot

fail to acknowledge the ghraib scandal caused in ireland. by the abuse of young people by members of the church were given responsibility for their protection and education it is. the fundamental video of the failure of church authorities bishops religious leaders priests and others to adequately address these repugnant crimes. has rightly led to outrage them in sushi and it remains a source of pain and shame for the catholic community. well for more on the pope's visit i'm joined here in the studio by dude always religious affairs correspondent martin got martin good to see you we've been listening some emotional words from the pontiff and yes of course many victims have been saying that they're looking for more than just words how much do you think the pope's visit to ireland can actually help the vatican turn

a corner when it comes to the issue of clerical abuse in and of itself not much i think that part of the problem is that this kind of words are words that we have been hearing for a very very long time not just from this pope but from the previous pope as well this scandal it's now over all about fourteen years old i mean of course it is go much farther back but this sort of essentially started around and to those two and the fact is that unless it is accompanied by a very very very concrete actions which we have not seen from the vatican and we're lumps in back into the situation which we're hearing more words of contrition more questions i would like sinning and so on and so forth i think that people are looking for specifically concrete actions to bring justice for the crimes committed while also calling for concrete action and it was the prime minister of ireland issued a statement let's listen to a clip. holy father we ask that you use your office and influence to ensure that

this is done here in ireland and also around the world. in recent weeks we've all listened to the heartbreaking stories from pennsylvania of the unspeakable crimes perpetrated by people within the church and then obscure to protect the institution . it's a story that was all too tragically familiar to those of us here in ireland. as you said there can only be zero tolerance for those who abuse children are facilitate that abuse. and he was now ensure that from words flow actions. all right so a call for action from the prime minister of ireland he also says zero tolerance and yet is it even possible to resolve the abuse scandal without bringing someone else in some other kind of outside authorities and yes if so then which authority like that i mean i don't think it is possible to solve this without outside or thirty's meaning he goes to church it's not in the business of adjudicating crimes

the church is in the business of adjudicating sins and the fact is that this is something that extends through so many jurisdictions that in no position i mean is the church you actually sort out these things which the church itself was in the business of committing so the issue here is really a simple one i mean in a sense it's a very complex issue that boils down to a discipline to one issue which is will the vatican turn evidence documents files etc to national authorities for this crimes to be committed we're not only talking about sexual abuse issues we're also talking about a massive cover up and i think that the short answer is in the immediate future i doubt that we will see this because this is a fight that even with the best of will people who are reformists around the pope the ronco princes are themselves fighting their own battle against many fours inside the vatican that want to see essentially no change in this tradition of power and would like the story just to go away obviously the story will not go away

all right so you say there's a lack of will perhaps to do anything about this problem so just of what could push church leaders to finally submit those documents and really take this type of concrete action i think that we're seeing very. prosecutors for instance a case of who are now actually trying to force the vatican to turn the seven ins i think that even those inside the vatican that have good will that have the political will do need the help from those outside that can actually push it into the limelight and force the institution to be more transparent. religious affairs correspondent martin god many thanks indeed for your insights. well turning now to venezuela where an 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 that europe saw in the mediterranean back in
