Pope vows ’firmest possible’ crackdown on clerical abuse
Pope Francis has promised the "firmest measures possible" against priests who rape and molest children and said he will hold accountable bishops and religious superiors who cover up for them.
Francis met on Thursday for the first time with his sex abuse advisory commission, which was created in 2014 to advise him and the Catholic Church on best practices to keep paedophiles out of the priesthood and protect children.
