A prominent survivor of clerical child sexual abuse, Marie Collins, has reacted strongly to Archbishop Diarmuid Martin’s statement that Pope Francis may not get time to meet victims during his visit here later this month.
The former Vatican adviser urged the pontiff not simply to meet vicitms’ representatives but also address his failures to reform Church policy in the area.
Pope Francis is to visit Ireland on 25 and 26 August to attend the Catholic World Meeting of Families in Dublin and to visit Knock Shrine in Co Mayo.
