Eight survivors of sex abuse in Ireland had strong words for Pope Francis: "Issue an unqualified apology to all the survivors."

Pope Francis had to note the many protests that followed along his parade route in Dublin. Outside Dublin Castle a group held a banner that read, “We Will Never Forget,”’ and chanted “Keep our children safe.”

Leo Varadkar, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Ireland, encouraged Pope Francis to “use your office and influence” to ensure that justice is done for sex abuse victims in Ireland and around the world.

The Irish people "have struggled and come through because they have faith," says Sister Liz Murphy, R.S.M., on the eve of a visit from Pope Francis.

The Diocese of Buffalo faces criticism that it has mishandled allegations of sexual misconduct by priests and as it weathers calls for an independent investigation into its practices.

Pope Francis visits to meet the Irish people who have been so grievously wounded by the sexual abuse of minors and other related scandals over decades.
