Pope Francis will meet two Irish survivors of clerical sex abuse this morning - as part of his first formal meeting with victims as pontiff.
A total of six people - including two each from Britain and Germany - will attend private morning mass at the Pope's Vatican residence before talks afterwards.
Francis says he'll show zero tolerance for clergy who abused children - and has set up a new Child Protection Commission - whose membership includes Irish campaigner Marie Collins
The Irish Times Religious Affairs Correspondent Patsy McGarry says it's a significant step forward.
