Pope says he’s ‘ashamed’ about Catholic Church’s failure to tackle clerical abuse in Ireland

The Pope has admitted he is ‘ashamed’ about the Catholic Church’s failure to tackle clerical abuse in Ireland. The 81-year-old Pontiff was met at Dublin Castle by Ireland’s Taoiseach Leo Varadkar as part of his two-day visit to Ireland, the first papal visit since 1979. On the first day of his historic visit, Pope Francis said people had a right to be outraged at the response of senior church figures to the ‘repellent crimes’ inflicted on young people.
