Huffington Post

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (AP) — Pope Francis has announced he will meet with a group of sex abuse victims next month at the Vatican and declared “zero tolerance” for any member of the clergy who would violate a child.

Francis also revealed that three bishops are currently under investigation by the Vatican for abuse-related reasons, though it wasn’t clear if they were accused of committing abuse itself or of having covered it up.

The meeting with victims marks the first for this pope.
