Rome - Dozens of sexual abuse victims on Sunday demanded that the pope take firmer action against the priests who committed the abuse during a demonstration near the Vatican in Rome.

'Hands off our children' and 'Church without abuse' the demonstrators chanted at the protest, organized by US victims' organization Survivors Voice, on the Castel Sant'Angelo. Italian victims also took part.
