Abuse victims to demand zero tolerance from pope

(ANSA) - Rome, February 20 - An association representing the victims of sexual abuse by members of the clergy said Wednesday that they will demand Pope Francis has zero tolerance for pedophiles in a encounter with him before a three-day meeting in the Vatican on the protection of minors. "What we will ask is for him to put zero tolerance into practice," Peter Isely, the spokesman for Ending Clergy Abuse, told the foreign press association in Rome before the meeting with the pontiff. "There are two points: kicking out the abusive priests and expelling the bishops and cardinals who covered them up.
    Resignations are not enough".
