popes have met in the past.t a pope met with survivors of cleric am sexual abuse was benedict xvi in the united states in 2008. butpy read, george, or the mood in the street here is that they are not -- the irish, that, are not interested in simply hearing repetitions of what has been said in the past, apologies, acknowledgments, reassurances that things are going to change him i think they want something or of that. the national seminary here in ireland had a piece in one of the irish newspapers this morning where i think he put his finger on what people want to hear, which is, he said, the real test is going to be whether pope francis is able and will be to have clergy submit sexual abuse in the minor on bishops guilty of the coverup of that crime. i think that's a long time the real frustration the church has strongkably for clergy who abuse, but does not have the equivalent for officials who turn a blind eye, don't report it. examples of that kind of thing are legion. until that accountably gap is filled, my

pope francis put that back at the heart as did pope benedict.recognise that. our faith means nothing if it does not involve the goodness of one another, love of one another. you can see the reve na nt love of one another. you can see the revenant is, love of one another. you can see the revena nt is, people love of one another. you can see the revenant is, people are praying with pope francis as we watch. it is so important to have these quiet moments. for him, personally, so they have that sense of presence with people when he meets them. for many people it hasn't been a question of a loss of faith but perhaps confidence in the hierarchy of the church, rather than their fundamental faith? in of the church, rather than their fundamentalfaith? in a of the church, rather than their fundamental faith? in a sense it is not unique to the church. we have lost a lot of incidences of credibility within our society. the deinstitutionalisation of society, we have seen it in many ways. that has been the case of allen, with businesses and banking. we have f

a pope came to the country. changed vastly in that time in terms of society, its relationship with the church and of course, in that time, many dark scandals have come to light including the abuse of children by catholic priests and in catholic run institutions. so it is a different ireland that this pope is coming to. let's look at the live pictures as the pope's motorcade makes its way from dublin airport to the official residence of the president of ireland, michael d higgins, who will be greeting the pope shortly, along with his wife, sabine. they will have discussions. the pope will plant and irish oak tree post to the oak tree planted by john paul ii in 1979. then the pope will make his way to dublin castle where i am speaking to you from he will be the irish prime minister, the taoiseach, leo varadkar. and he will deliver a speech. that is one of the key parts of this visit to look out for. what will he said on the subject of the abuse of children? will he set out any concrete measures to deal with those

at dublin airport, carrying the pope.ng a break, the 80—year—old pontiff, before coming to phoenix park in the city to say mass later on today. he will deliver his homily to the gathered crowds, suspected to be around half a million people. he will also deliver a speech to irish bishops. it will be interesting to hear it in that speech, what words, if any, he has on the subject of the how the church has handled abuse cases. the main reason, the official reason for the pope's visit to ireland this weekend has been to take part in the world meeting of families, an event that happens, catholic church organised event, that happens every three yea rs. event, that happens every three years. so, much of the focus of the speech has been about the family, marriage, bringing up children in faith. and with values. but, of course, many would say, if you're talking about the family, then, of course, it is the most appropriate time to address the... abuse of young children, that was carried out... by... priests and... in catholic run i

news live from berlin a massive welcome in ireland for pope francis the pontiff is preparing to address a huge crowd in the country's biggest stadium but his visit has been overshadowed by the church's sexual abuse scandal. also coming up pro hinge of muslim refugees mark the anniversary of the myanmar military crackdown that sent hundreds of thousands fleeing to bangladesh but one year on you believe their call for justice will be heeded. and we'll have highlights for you of last night's top soccer clash as the buddhist league gets back to business cereal champions byron munich facing another top to bottom time in the curtain raiser to the aryans did prevail but it was not the dominant start they were hoping for. thanks for joining us on marian evans dean. pope francis has received a warm welcome from supporters in dublin during the first papal trip to ireland in nearly forty years the pontiff will address tens of thousands of supporters at croke park stadium in the irish capital he's also due to meet with abuse victims earlier on saturday people lined the streets of dublin to welcome

pope francis. it wasjust a line, but a very significant linelj pope francis.wasjust a line, but a very significant line. i think so. but a very significant line. i think so. it was absolute commitment and recognition that truth and justice is so important to people who have experienced abuse, not just is so important to people who have experienced abuse, notjust in terms of the actual sexual abuse itself that any cover—up and any failure to greet the revelation of that abuse with utter belief and credibility. to a cce pt with utter belief and credibility. to accept any institutional responsibility for what happened or a nyway responsibility for what happened or anyway it was covered up, very important. do you think it's also a recognition by the pope, that although he is here for this world meeting of families event, surrounding all of the events connected to that is this question of how the church has dealt with abuse, with those who covered up abuse? he has mentioned it a number of times, now in his key addresses. this one stood out because otherwise it's qu

there we are, pope francis stepping off irish soil to ta ke pope francis stepping off irish soil to take one, the call sign for all flights that carried the pope. internationally recognised as having diplomatic status, the vatican is a state in its own right. and the pope returns to rome tonight. i would of thought reflecting on a broadly successful visit. yes not really faced much in the way of direct protest a nd faced much in the way of direct protest and i think the thing that will make most impact were the remarks today, during mass today when he chose to speak in spanish. he is argentinian so spanish is his tong as many commentators pointed out. —— his native tongue. that is hope francis, who asked a request for forgiveness. hope francis, who asked a request forforgiveness. —— hope francis, who asked a request for forgiveness. —— that is pope francis. and in a special way we ask pardon for all the abuses committed in various kinds of institutions run by males orfemale in various kinds of institutions run by males or female religious and other members of the church. and of course a

what has pope francis said. the treatment of lg bt people has pope francis said.utcasts in society and with pure disdain is utterly repugnant to a progressively liberal country like ireland. the tide has already turned in this regard and the church is so far removed. pope francis has the past made about lgbt people saying they are people of god, children of god, but never made any orders to include lg bt but never made any orders to include lgbt people but never made any orders to include lg bt people in but never made any orders to include lgbt people in mass are sacrament, and i'm not even saying same—sex marriage because nobody is saying they should have that pair say, but welcoming lgbt they should have that pair say, but welcoming lg bt people they should have that pair say, but welcoming lgbt people who feel catholic, it is something thatjesus of nazareth would probably have done. and just reflecting on this festival of families, we are reminded that families come in many different shapes and forms, and what we heard from pope francis today has been largely

until john paul became pontiff, popes were carried on shoulder.hat fell out of favour in the vatican. he was the last to be carried by public tendons, the predecessor to john paul. it is a very useful way for an elderly man to be able to get around and be seen by the crowds. this is a wonderful opportunity for those who are devout catholics to see the man who leads their church and you can see them waving and smiling despite the weather. this is a day that many will rememberfor the rest this is a day that many will remember for the rest of their lives as the pope visits phoenix park in dublin. this is the scene in phoenix park, and what we are expecting is that for probably another few minutes, the pope will continue to tour. it is enormous, as anybody who has been to phoenix park will know.

what they said to the pope and what the pope said to them.s taken place. of course there will be much interest to find out if we can, any details of the conversation, what the pope perhaps said privately to them, more about actions that the church is proposing to ta ke actions that the church is proposing to take to deal with the abuse of children by clerics, to talk about abuse that happened in catholic run institutions, to also deal with those who cover up abuse. and just in the last few weeks and months of course, we have seen not only here in ireland much does the ocean of this issue but with the pennsylvania grandjury in the this issue but with the pennsylvania grand jury in the united states, reporting and implicating 300 priests in the abuse of more than 1000 people, 1000 children in the 1970s and 80s with the conviction in australia, of the highest ranking church official, the archbishop of adelaide, over the cover—up of abuse bya adelaide, over the cover—up of abuse by a cleric, we can see that this is a global issue and the reason w

in 1979, pope john paul ii said here ami in 1979, pope john paul ii said here amlon my in 1979, pope the visit of ireland, but because of health and safety and all of that there has been masses of coverage about the distances people how to walk, about ticketing for events and so on, and that has kept a lot of people away, particularly those with mobility issues. so we're not comparing like with like but in terms of what you asked me, the reception for pope francis has been tremendous. his ability to empathise and connect with people, even if you spend 30 seconds with him looking at him face—to—face, there was a great sense of warmth from him personally. many people experience that last night, as well, at the world meeting of families festival. why has knock being added to the schedule? the archbishop of the diocese of tuam is very persuasive. and francis did not need much persuading because of his personal devotion to our lady. and popes do honour national basilicas and shrines if they can. we have two in ireland, a place of pilgrimage in ireland, in the north—west, lough deargh. per

the michael waltz how will the pope be able to guide how will the pope be able to guide the church in the face of these damaging cases and damaging allegations well i've heard puzzled by this campus is the talk of separation of church and state i mean there is separation of church and state and i look at the as a united kingdom and france italy all the catholic countries as far as i'm aware now have a clear cut distinction between the church and state because the fact is that the bishops are still free to express their opinions and encouraged their t two. to devote for instance as in the recent. referendum an island on contraception the vote in a particular way that is not a sense reflection on the bishop is not on the on the actual status of the catholic church the pope. says it wants to devolve power to the local bishops it is a question of the who who we choose to be bishops or who they the church chooses to go bishop that's why i said we need a better more transparent process in rome and that's something that certainly within the pope's power to bring about. all right so on that n

we continue our coverage of the two—day visit to ireland by pope francis, the first visit by a pope tontry since 1979 back when john paul ii was here. hundreds of thousands of catholics are going to be welcoming the pope over the course of the two days particularly in events at croke park later today, normally the scene of major sporting events and concerts and in phoenix park in the city tomorrow and of course this visit although the main reason for it is attendance at this world meeting of families which is organised by the catholic church every three years, undoubtedly it is being dominated by what he has already said and what he's going to saying about the abuse of children by priests, the cover—ups of that abuse and other scandals that have set the catholic church in the decades sincejohn paul ii was here. we will have much more on all of that for you and an appraisal of what pope francis has said so far in a few moments. first this report from emma va rdy. descending on dublin this morning, shepherd one, the papal plane. this is ireland's first visit from the pope in four decades

heard from pope francis on this trip so far.had so many other things in them but these lines have really stood out. the words are very clear. they are also acknowledging that these are open wounds and the pain continues for so many people. more needs to be done to bring about the ealing not just more needs to be done to bring about the ealing notjust of the trail of trust and the sexual violence but also the way the structure did not respond or cake compassionately, believing —— care compassionately, believing —— care compassionately, believing people when they came forward. it will be very interesting to get the reaction of abuse survivors to these specific words. they have been calling for action and while this doesn't set up any specific steps, it does seem like a commitment, doesn't it? these are not the context in which you are going to set out specific steps. theseis going to set out specific steps. these is the context of prayer. but ido these is the context of prayer. but i do believe pope francis will go away from her a

he looks as though he enjoyed it, the pope.ormances from before little junior irish dancers a few moments ago and in the riverdance troupe we re ago and in the riverdance troupe were expecting to hear the pope himself speak in a little over 15 minutes' time, so be the third 3gs delivered today and one at dublin council were speaking to you from alongside irish prime minister. another speech in state marriage cathedral in dublin. he met engage in newly married couples and eight couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. and the theme there, family and faith and the value of commitment. and on the stage now another very familiar irish cultural export, daniel 0'donnell. he's got the crowd on their feet. # just let your love fly like a bird oi'i # just let your love fly like a bird on the wing and let your love bind you to all living things. that's really a festival atmosphere, as the festival of families. and i will remind you of the news that we learned of as the pope arrived here this evening. we heard the team had met ei

by a pope to the country for nearly a0 yea rs. a pope to the country for nearly a0 years. 1979 myjohn was the last time we have a papal visit to ireland. pope francis arrived at dublin airport a little earlier. he was greeted by archbishops and by a government representative, the deputy prime minister, and he is now at the residence of the irish president, michael higgins, aras an uachtarain, in dublin's phoenix park. pope francis in the last few moments has planted an irish oak tree in the park wherejohn planted an irish oak tree in the park where john paul planted an irish oak tree in the park wherejohn paul ii planted an oak tree almost four decades ago. this is a visit that is going to be dominated by serious questions that pope francis has to answer. whether he will answer those questions in terms of what the judge is going to do to deal with those who abuse children and those who cover up the abuse of children, we don't know. he is expected to mention that in his speech at dublin castle lives little later and we will bring that speech to you. but whether he issues an apology, wh

he is among those greeting pope francis.tle bit about what he will be doing on this first part of his weekend visit to ireland. he will be going to the official residence of the irish president, michael d higgins. he will have a conversation with him. he will plant a tree in the gardens there, close to a tree planted byjohn paul ii in 1979, an irish show, and he will be coming to dublin castle, where i am speaking you from. —— irish oak. he will be meeting the irish prime minister, leo varadkar, and delivering a speech in which he will be talking about, amongst other things, the abuse of children by priests and in catholic run institutions. we await the year the precise nature of what he will say. —— await to hear. there will probably be an apology. he has issued apologies before, but will there be anything in terms of concrete steps that many of the survivors of abuse on the pope to speak about on this visit? throughout the weekend, we will be bringing you details of all of the events he will be attending, including tomorro

what do you think pope francis wants to do about this?his 80s, other men in his 80s surround him, and they are not minded to really change things. another school of thought is that he does want to do that, but he is somewhat hamstrung by the rules of the church? there is very little evidence to say he really wa nts very little evidence to say he really wants the church to change, not just from a really wants the church to change, notjust from a abuse perspective. we had the apology at the start of the week, a reiteration of an apology given by the previous pope. again, he didn't go any further when it came to bringing people to justice. if you look at other issues, when it comes to the treatment of women within the catholic church, he never evolved on this position either. he has not fundamentally evolved on treating with respect the lgbt community either. so you can't really say he is the revolutionary that everybody thought he might be. the irish prime minister has talked about opening up a new chapter between the state and the church,

i think the pope respect that. the pope also responded, i think, pope respect that. responded, ithink, and pope respect that. the pope also responded, i think, and will respond on his returnjourney, his own assessment. it is early days. the reactions of people for this visit. his words, i hope, will be back up with action. peru has closed its borders to venezuelan migrants without a passport in an effort to control the number of venezuelans entering their country. venezuela's longstanding economic crisis has seen more than two million citizens flee since 2014, causing regional tensions as neighbouring countries struggle to accommodate them. peru set a deadline of midnight on friday for the new passport rules to come into force, leading to a last minute crush as thousands of venezuelans scrambled to enter the country in time. our south america correspondent, katy watson, has this report from the ecuador—peru border. the beauty of the eastern andes belies a challenges these mountains pose. this is just the start of the migrant route, but already those walking it are ex

he is not the pope for the sexual abuse of children, he is the pope who is supposed to be leading thech. but this is such a massive issue, iam beginning church. but this is such a massive issue, i am beginning to think this issue, i am beginning to think this is the worst crisis probably the catholic church has faced since the reformation. you are just back from ireland. what was your sense of it? i visited in the last week where i am from, huge expectations for the pope to do something more thanjust apologise essentially. people want specifics now. i think it is fair to say it has been more negative than positive, high—profile people like the former president of ireland, a doctoral student in canon law. outspoken, vocal in the last few weeks about the church's views on homosexuality and more. it is not pope francis's first visit to ireland, he learned english in 1980 in dublin. a very different place then. different vestiges of the catholic church very much present in ireland. today, he is going to be greeted by one of the few openly gay leaders in the world, the shock. let us in the

pope got up to speak. he talked about dark aspects of the catholic church history and he asked for the catholic church to deal with the issues that have been plaguing the church and the time has come for a new chapter. of course, the pope then went on to deliver his message. he talked about the duty of every generation to protect spiritual values in the face of the difficulty that families are facing at this time. he did talk about the grave scandal of abuse of young people under the care of the church. he talked about the betrayal of trust and he said the gravity of the abuse scandal cast a light on many and it served to emphasise the importance of children to the church. so pope francis has given that key speech in dublin. it is a historic visit. it is the first visit by a pope in almost a0 years in a much changed ireland, and he had much to say about many of the controversies that have been plaguing the church. we can listen back to some of that speech, where he also talked about the good friday agreeme

the pope is attitudes have changed. the pope is a largely religious leader now rather than a secular one, and certainly not a political one, but the vatican is still a state in its own right that sends ambassadors around the world, britain has an ambassador to the holy see who attends and hold audiences with the pope. but on this particular visit, what we have seen as the politicians trying to have influence on the papacy. nothing more striking for me in what we've seen in the last couple of days than leo varadkar, the taoiseach, the prime minister embodies how ireland has changed, he comes from an indian background, an immigrantfamily, he comes from an indian background, an immigrant family, he is gay, his country has now accepted abortion, and same—sex marriage is now modern realities, things that the church has traditionally been deeply uncomfortable with, and his message to the church was that the terrible suffering caused not just to the church was that the terrible suffering caused notjust in clerical sex abuse bu

and we are seeing on the face of the pope, i think, and we are seeing on the face of the pope, ithinkny people, that engaged response. he clearly enjoys meeting people. from the streets of argentina, and his work with the homeless, here to dublin, ireland... he clearly loves engaging with the public, and his advisers around him who use social media do a rather good job of making sure that his presence on social media is one that engages the public as well. a little more music now before we hear from the pope. and shona murray and the baroness ashton with me here at dublin castle. it feels to me like one of those occasions where before it is over, and there are still another day or the best part of a day still to come, a fairly definitive assessment of the visit has happened. would you ee, of the visit has happened. would you agree, shona? yes, as i said earlier, the speech today with the irish prime minister, the head of government, the head of state, the dignitaries, the abuse survivors, the people involved in lawmaking in this country, was the speech that people expected to hear, an

to take a chance and ask for a selfie with pope francis.e images now... alison netherton, shaking his hand and he seems very happy to pose for that selfie, doesn't he? that has done the rounds on social media this morning. but the first time we have seen morning. but the first time we have seen him stop for a selfie with people. what the pope is doing now, he is currently in the air on an aer lingus flight from dublin to the holy shrine of knock, in county mayo, west of ireland. a 20 minute flight. mayo, west of ireland. a 20 minute flight. the mayo, west of ireland. a 20 minute flight. the flight mayo, west of ireland. a 20 minute flight. the flight number incidentally is ei1979, 1979 is a reference to the last time that it pope visited ireland. this is the scene in not, about 45 —— 45,000 people are expected there. visited by1.5 people are expected there. visited by 1.5 million pilgrims every year. when he comes back from there, the flight when he comes back from there, the flight number will be ei2018 to mark his visit. it will not be long b

d think the church in the pope has gone far enough in public state m e nts pope has gone far enough intisfy some of those critics were willing to be satisfied but are yet sceptical? first of all i think the story that people will be waking up to is not just what he said in phoenix park but also a story that broke out of the united states late last night that the pope lawes former ambassador in that country has accused him of being aware of sexual abuse charges against an american cardinal in 2013 and yet not taking any action and it is a messy story. collea g u es any action and it is a messy story. colleagues and me and other news agencies have been spending most of the day trying to sort through it. expect the question that pope francis will give during his press conference on the papal plane tonight and i will be part of tomorrow's new cycle as well i am sure. to accompany your question in terms of whether he has done enough, i think most observers at least here in ireland will tell you not quite. i think they found his language and gestures heartfelt but now what is the action take

in terms of what pope francis had to say on theissue of what pope francis had to say on the issue do is more liberal in his thinking than many others in the church? he is credited with this phrase, who might tojudge and credited with this phrase, who might to judge and this credited with this phrase, who might tojudge and this is bounced credited with this phrase, who might to judge and this is bounced around the world but the problem is the catholic church das judge the world but the problem is the catholic church dasjudge lgbt people and cause them intrinsically evil and disordered and it also judges theirfamilies evil and disordered and it also judges their families then they're not realfamilies. judges their families then they're not real families. as leo varadkar mention. yes and i was delighted to see that and also to pack the whole with such a diverse range of groups. so physically he was making his point but going back to james martin, i was disappointed with what he said in his speech because we have a catholic priest talking to a group of catholics and telling them to be ni

so the pope has a number of engagements today. among the engagement, he is going to be meeting homeless families. he is expected crucially also to meet victims survivors of sex abuse. from the hands of clerics. but we have been told by the church authorities that we will not know about that meeting until after it has happened. and then that is up to those taking pa rt and then that is up to those taking part in the meeting with pope francis whether or not they want to talk publicly about the conversation that takes place. pope francis is continuing his journey through dublin city centre. in the popemobile. so you are watching pope francis on this two—day visit to ireland, well under way. he arrived at dublin airport this morning. now, several hours later and after a speech at dublin castle where i am speaking to you from, he is making his way through the streets of dublin city centre. the 81—year—old is choosing not to use the chair for the short journey, rather to stand. all the better to let the crowds see him. a pretty demandin

that is where the pope will be appearing later on.d warnings about road closures and delays, some people who are elderly coming year being warned that they are going to need to walk for a very long distance, so i think people will need a lot of strong faith as well as good wet weather gear here this afternoon. it is a test of their resolve of how much they want to come and see the pope! emma will be reporting throughout the day on the bbc news channel on those events taking place in dublin. the plane is get ready to head for knock before going back to dublin. directors who dissolve companies to avoid paying workers' wages or pensions could face heavy fines or be banned from running firms, under government proposals. ministers are planning changes in the wake of what they describe as "recent large—scale business failures", which left suppliers out of pocket and sizeable black holes in pension pots. italy has ended a six—day stand—off involving around 1a0 migrants stranded on a coast guard vessel in a sicilian port. the passengers, most

is going there obviously a lot of the emphasis on this pope of this pope on the family has been 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 the when the scandal began to surface. it show it's legal it's global it's global reach but it made ireland really one of the focal points because of the sheer amount of like priests and the influence of the got the 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 martin about that in a second first 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 more than ten years in this catholic reform school in will fit where she was beaten and tormented by nuns they talked to into believing that it was her fault she was raped until now not one of police's

this is ireland's first visit from the pope in four decades.nd welcoming the head of the catholic church has been a much anticipated moment. ireland was once known as the most catholic country in the world. but rocked by scandals, the church has fallen from grace. in dublin, pope francis spoke of the sexual abuse of children by catholic priests and the failure of the church to address it. translation: the failure of ecclesiastical authorities, bishops, religious superiors, priests and others adequately to address these repellent crimes has rightly given rise to outrage and remains a source of pain and shame for the catholic community. i myself share those sentiments. pope francis will meet with survivors of clerical abuse during his visit. some say his condemnation of these crimes is not enough. it has to be zero tolerance and that means every abusive priest, bishop and those who covered it up, be sacked and removed from the church immediately. half the population of ireland turned out to see pope john paul in 1979. back then, homosexuality, co

with the issue of clerical abuse what have the pope's critics in ireland been saying now especially online there they're saying no they're saying nope there's actually a hashtag called say nope to the pope which sounds funny but of course is deadly serious that many are using to discuss their outrage at the catholic church and the pope's visit you can see an irish rugby writer he put it very bluntly in this tweet he said i wish every weekend could be ireland winning the grand slam on st patrick's day and twickenham which is a major rugby stadium in england instead this weekend we have to host the leader of the world's largest pedophile ring hash tag say no to the pope definitely not beating around the bush with such a tweet but it must be said of course the pope has been outspoken on this issue he's called. the crimes of his of his own repugnant and the lack of action is shameful which is not enough for many we have the executive director of amnesty ireland who is organizing a protest on this very issue tomorrow in dublin he's heavily criticized the pope especially with this tweet w

not one child is safer because of what the words of the pope are the actions of the pope gestures apologies condemnations are insufficient and until he takes action. we're going to have a continuation of the same kind of systematic abuse of children and cover up by church hierarchies so the apologies and the condemnations become longer but we have been seen in your action let's move it forward then because all we talking about now a complete seachange in investigating allegations of abuse there is tolka about bringing in local police or security forces into an investigation that debate is still ongoing between the holy see and various law enforcement agencies in respective sovereign countries yes we've already seen the roe commission which you mentioned earlier having you're investigating the church or the actions of chile but we're also seeing three different studies or investigations in our own like the clone report which showed similar kinds of systematic abuse of children and cover up by our kids the same thing we found in pennsylvania with the three hundred predator prius we're calling

acts cloaked by countless clergy cover ups today pope francis made it clear in a letter to catholics around the world that the sins of the past are an result of crimes of the present so what about justice or tonight a reply from victims and survivors to the pontiff stop wielding the power of the pen start using the power of the pope i'm bringing off in berlin this is the day. to pull his listen to many victims over the years and this is clearly shaped this letter now he's trying to redefine the papacy has something that's going to listen to survivors and do something different pope francis's greater accountability is needed burgeoning not only for those who committed these crimes but also for those who covered them up which in many cases means bishops the idea that sort of he can bring about the end of child sexual abuse for example even within the terms of where does he get this from it's significant that the pope calls abuse a crime and not just a sin because two thousand words it's just too much to really have started from a new continent. also coming up tonight a great city sort

to this day, no pope including pope francis, has acknowledged that.he shame of clergy sex abuse. i would agree with the assessment, but frankly i am bored and irritated by popes and cardinals talking in terms of shame and pain. talking about their feelings. you have heard it all before? this is not about their feelings. this is aboutjustice, this is about truth and love and asking the pope to care enough about those principles to tell the truth and so far they have not done that. i think the comments that pope francis made here were quite extraordinary. there were some elements that i would say were repugnant. at one point he spoke about how the failure of a ecclesiastic authorities and he referenced priest, clergy —ish herbs and others, he did not say who they were. and to deal properly with these crimes were pain and shame across the community. he is implicating normal catholics that they should somehow be ashamed about they should somehow be ashamed about the crimes and cover—up of the church. and then he said i also feel the same feelings. it is n

pope francis has gone further than any pope in acknowledging the church's wrongs but as new allegations of abuse continue to surface the biggest challenge to the church in ireland is the church itself. pope francis is an island and arguably one of the darkest moments in the church's modern history become pope francis universally respected as a true reformer reinvigorate face and what the catholic church stands for. this is a side of the church the pope wants to celebrate and inspire a day center for dublin homeless run by a religious order there are people in the city whose lives depend on the church's help people left behind in island's economic recovery and what can we expect from the pope tomorrow. well no the pope has perhaps dealt with some of the most pressing and challenging parts of his visit here we know of course that he met with aids survivors of clerical religious and institutional abuse for ninety minutes a bit earlier on in the day a meeting that must have been very emotional indeed now that that has been dealt with of course it doesn't go away he will undoubtedly as he mo

the pope can't the pope beg for forgiveness when he was in ireland as we've heard previous popes do he didn't have any point indicate what it was that he or his institution and that's the vatican the institutional roman catholic church is looking for forgiveness for he talked a lot about the actions of all of the crimes of priest he calls them reprehensible and criminal his rights they were to rape a child is a is a serious and grevious crime and sort of cross that he talked about the cover up that was perpetrated by some bishops who referred in these closing comments today about some bishops not all bishops not acknowledging that this was systemic and he stopped at the level of bishop in norway to the acknowledge the proven evidence to fact the objective fact that the roman catholic church at the level of the vatican at the level of pope's and members of the curia has driven and implemented a cover up of the crimes of the clergy the rape and abuse of children of women of vulnerable adults on a systemic scale across the globe. and it did so in a way that was underpinned by its a law un

who called him to resign, called on the pope to resign, releasing a 7000-word letter claiming the popeabout allegations of sex abuse by high-ranking cardinal theodore mccarrick, of d.c., years before they became public, and failed to punish him. mccarrick faces allegations that he coerced men training to become priests into sexual relationships and abused a teenage altar boy. pope francis has refused to comment on the accusations. for more, we go to dublin, ireland, where we are joined by two guests. peter isely is a survivor of childhood sexual assault by a wisconsin priest and a founding member of snap survivors network , of those abused by priests. he traveled from wisconsin to ireland for the pope's visit. and thomas doyle is a former priest and long-time supporter of justice and compassion for clergy sex abuse victims. in 1985, he wrote the policy for the ships to handle sexual abuse. they ignored it. he was expert witness in the grand jury proceedings in last week's pennsylvania grand jury report on sexual abuse of children by catholic clergy members. they're both part of the org

it'll be my first time seeing the pope.getting ready in‘ 79, but i always thought, would i ever get to see the pope in my lifetime? this might be my only chance. he wears a white robe, and he has the rosary around his neck, and he's from argentina. not forgetting the hurt and the abuse, that's important that we all remember that. but we're never going to move forward if we don't think of the hope, and pope francis is hope for the church. all ages rushed for a close—up view of the pope as he drove around the grounds for almost 30 minutes. and then, speaking from handwritten notes in his mother tongue of spanish, he asked ireland to forgive the church for its sins. translation: we ask forgiveness for the times that, as a church, we did not show the survivors, of whatever kind of abuse, compassion, and the seeking ofjustice and truth through concrete actions. given the circumstances leading up to this visit, with abuse scandals of raging from australia to america, this has been a relatively trouble—free trip for pope francis.

so the pope seems to door -- and your top-down and maybe in those international agencies so we push more for that bottom-up solution that would be in her own self-interest he met one of the essays say there is a clear need dialogue. because the pope and many of the economic profession with that fundamental level on many issues. >> where we don't see i to i is property rights. that when you get property it is a monopoly everybody owns the resources and keeps them away from everybody else that led the economist on the property, they think of it you have resources and of the incentive to make sure they are used wisely. but the case in point if you just lie into the island of hispaniola one is the dominican republic you can see from the sky it is brown on one side and green on the other it is more clearly defined and enforced but with haiti they have not had that security of property rights. so they don't actually own the property. but the cronies of the people to come in and take your stuff whenever they want to. or maybe you don't. but it just ends up being a wave where when property right

to sociate the pope did not regard the film isn't a catholic bashing the pope regard to the share properly and relation to historical events in our minds and yes he had nothing to say to the musher he own you were hardly back to archbishop jerram and martin you was the archbishop of dublin ireland but somebody who is a non connection to vatican in rome and i just was i was just beyond disappointed with that you know they had so much warning about the and strange that accompanies that and of course in our times though the appalling revelations about the almost eight hundred babies and children married to suit system in a form of there may be only two and he is directors are representatives response was to refer me to an archbishop in dublin so i make no apology for the fact that i have little faith in this current pontiff that he's actually addressing these mary very grave she rights abuses and any serious level susan thank you very much indeed to feel thoughts of a thank you thank you. that's exactly a year since man launched a military crackdown on revenge of muslims in rakhine state hund
