And Pope Francis heads to the Republic of Ireland this weekend, where a half-million Catholic faithful are expected to line the streets of Dublin to catch a glimpse of the first visit by a pontiff to Ireland in four decades. Francis is scheduled to meet victims of clerical sexual and physical abuse. His visit comes less than two weeks after a grand jury in Pennsylvania reported more than 300 Catholic priests sexually abused 1,000 children, and possibly thousands more, over seven decades and that church leadership covered up the abuse. This is Irish journalist and broadcaster Pat Coyle.

Pat Coyle: “That wound is deep in the psyche now of the Irish people, and it brings up that pain. People want the survivors to be able to meet the pope. They want the pope to be able to say something really meaningful, not just 'sorry.' I think people have heard 'sorry' an awful lot.”
