Pope Francis has summoned senior Catholic bishops from around the world to the Vatican to discuss the protection of minors, in his latest attempt to come to grips with a spreading sexual abuse crisis.
The heads of the national Catholic bishops’ conferences will meet with Francis from Feb. 21-24, a Vatican spokeswoman said.
