Pope Francis has named the initial members of a commission to advise
him on sex abuse policy, tapping lay and religious experts - and an
Irish woman assaulted as a child by a priest - to start plotting the
commission's tasks and priorities.
The eight members, four of them women, were announced on Saturday after Francis came under fire from victims' groups for a perceived lack of attention to the abuse scandal, which has seriously damaged the Catholic Church's reputation around the world and cost dioceses and religious orders billions of dollars in legal fees and settlements.
