Pope calls for 'concrete measures' as summit on clergy sexual abuse begins


Pope outlines summit roadmapThe Pope then said that he had made a list of 21 "reflection points" that were handed out to the assembly of church leaders. Current canon law in the Catholic Church has the minimum age as 14 for females and 16 for males. 'A life destroyed': Survivors speakAfter the Pope spoke, he and the assembled church leaders watched harrowing video testimonies from several victims of clergy sexual abuse. Another survivor of clergy sexual abuse, identified as 53-year-old priest, said another priest molested him when he was a teenager. Reaching consensus on how to approach clergy abuse "is going to be one of the big challenges of the meeting," Coleridge said at the news conference.
