Ireland's clergy sex abuse scandal has severely damaged the Catholic Church's reputation in the once-devout nation. Irish church officials hope that a meeting of Catholic families that
is expected to bring Pope Francis to Ireland next year will help
families regain trust in the church after the clerical sex abuse
scandal.
Dublin Archbishop Diarmuid Martin said Thursday that young people in particular “have been very scandalized” about the decades of abuse and cover-up that have eroded the credibility of the church in Ireland.
