Rome, March 7 – A group representing American survivors of sexual abuse by priests on Thursday named three cardinals they said were ‘promising’ candidates for pope because of their record on child sex-abuse claims.

Martin is a longshot candidate since he is not a cardinal, while the other two have been named as ‘papabili’, or papal contenders.
